I’m glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?
minus-squareGhostalmedia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32·3 years agoYeah, I might be to blame for some of that shit. I started !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world a few months ago, then it blew up and started covering c/all, then it spread like herpes to the other meme communities. Shit has died way down since that one weird week.
minus-squareSabata11792@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up20·3 years ago on average there are older people here, so they relate to the memes of yore. Old memes remind me of when I had the normal amount of sad and existential dread.
