at the same time, I *do* see a lot of misinformation in the meme channels and I saw a group of (can't say what group they belong to) trying to smear a particular group that has been hated by traditionally right wing groups historically here a while ago so

Anyone who looks at memes as if they are telling the truth is looking at memes wrong.

They're like any joke, sometimes truth involved, sometimes not involved, but don't source information from a joke or a sitcom or a meme

yeah, but these were memes more in line with "here's the facts"

yeah there are a lot of memes that take things out of contexts and idiots take it as facts for some reason.

The scary part is when they get into meme of the week

for now. admins just sent down a directive from tyler. election, covid or conspiracies are off the table

I have seen people get mad about some of the memes in the meme channels, and the sad part is that they never checked to see if the info in the meme was true

so much misinformation

I admit that I'm one of those people. I just don't delete the platform lol

I've fact checked memes before 😆

same

Why did they try to terminate this server

yeah, there were many times when I saw a meme in the meme channels and was like " well that's false"

@¿ılı˥? i'll change your nickname to something pingable again. do you still go with Lil Meeshreem?

am i allowed t o post my guilded link?

oh yeah sorry lol

no worry 😄

But you have to do the same thing with every movie and television show ever.

@isoboto hello mod ew

None of them are accurate portrayals of real life. Even down to the simple portrayal of a job function.

We're a conservative server and Discord is a liberal platform
social medias are doing everything in their power to purge conservatives and Zeducation was pretty much blacklisted

hi chungus

yeah, I tend to have to look everything up nowadays because of all the false narrative and false information from both sides, and all media, not just memes

@isoboto hello my favorite goose

How did we get it back it’s like it was before

true, but we don't have to give it a platform if that makes sense. As long as people know, it's fine, but when you post something calling out AOC and you use a quote or tweet she didn't say, that is inappropriate I think

Time travel.

If the classification of the 'information' is 'meme,' it should not be assumed true. That's the point.

@isoboto hello babe UwU

They threatened to shut us down if we don't get rid of all the "misinformation"
the admins had to wipe some channels
we follow all the rules of Discord ToS but they're trying to find reasons to purge us

It's like the images that have a quote, a person, and the wrong name attributed to the quote. That's the joke.

Do we have any backup plans if they terminate us

can i post a link to a guilded group???

I just had this discussion elsewhere. Technically, anything is "misinformation" if it's not an absolute fact, and even then we're dealing with people who are treating their own opinions as facts.

there *is* absolute truth though

@isoboto oh my ❤️
