no offense, but I did not care for any of the MotW today. I mean, I put in only 1 vote on all of them. Usually I will up vote a couple great ones, but this week was pretty lame.
Did y'all take them from the <#801170169002328125> channel or do we now have lefty mods picking out the memes?
i thought a couple of them were pretty funny, but not the funniest id seen in the channels all week
definitely neither, otherwise that biden one never would have made it in
He has a big piece of iron on his hip
you can definitely give us recommendation. you can nominate a meme you think deserves a place in motw to me, provided it's not what you posted
the problem is the MODS are picking the memes, I think Carl bot has a way for whenever you post something, he post will automatically have a reaction, and posts with let’s say over 100 reactions can go to a separate channel. Or maybe you could find a way to get the top 15 or so most reacted memes in a separate channel. I think letting the community decide the best memes would be better than the mods.
for sure. this sounds like a very good idea. can you put that in the <#801170187234967583> ?
yeah. i also don't agree that letting the community decides would be better. that being said, some of the memes that won motw aren't even considered "memes". they are just screenshots of tweets. personally, i'm trying to find a way to encourage more original memes rather than memes that are reposted or not actually memes
That may work but some memes get more reactions for really no reason. Also, everyone can add reactions to their own memes. And third, if it's based on reactions, the reactions will start dominating the space. People will add every reaction to each post and it will be ridiculous.
no like
the bot makes reaction
like a star emoji or a check
so it's just checkmark (like what we have currently for motw), but implement on all meme channels
but would we still be able to use the other reactions?
yeah, so like the people on this server will vote for the best memes
yeah duh only the one reaction will determine it
on the pixel gun discord server they have it like that
The question is do we want this place to be what Facebook was with the whole 👍 war or Twitter with its Likes
ok, bc on motw we cant use other ractions
and postts with over 20 reactions will go to a seperate channel
well once memes are in that posted they can't get unposted there
idk this is just a suggestion
I don't think MOTW is that important and whatever the Mods pick is fine. It may be dumb but so is the whole concept in the first place.
the downside of the checkmark system is usually original memes get very little reactions, while things that aren't "memes" get on top -- meme creators as well as casual posters report that the memes they lifted off the internet do better than their original memes
^
no. i like the idea. can you put it in the <#801170187234967583> ?
ok
I've seen "memes" which are complete garbage get tons of reactions while actual memes get 0. Until now, reactions were just there if you wanted to use them. If you guys want to incorporate a system where they actually mean something, that's fine. But remember, it may lead to unwanted consequences.
@yo mama you must put ,suggest before your suggestion. Redo it.
yup, definitely. i like the idea of community vote, but popular =/= good
which is why i kinda like the idea of community recommending the memes to mods/zeds for motw
it's not the best system, but it means good memes are not forgotten
i like getting reactions in general tho. Makes the memeing worth it even if my meme isn't that good
So do I. I go back and check sometimes (maybe too many times 😂)
same
I find that if you add reactions to the meme it encourages others to click the reaction
Not necessarily if you add it yourself, but once the reaction is there, others will up react.
yeah but mod pick memes will lead to good meme mods didn't see and don't pick
WHERE DID THE CURSED MEMES CHANNEL JUST GO??
I'm not really sure what you're saying, but I think the Mods actually see a lot more of the memes than most users. So they see all the memes while we regular folk only see what we get a chance to see. So the Mods actually have a better idea of what is out there.
