Why is this so common on Lemmy? It is not a meme to post a screenshot comment section. It might be funny but it isn't a meme
This is why I joined this community

A meme is just something funny that you share, so anything someone finds funny and posts online or shares with one friend is sharing memes.
A meme is just something
funnythat you share
By the technical definition, it doesn't even have to be funny, it only needs to be quickly sharable
Usually you wouldn’t share something that wasn’t funny/amusing though, there is that whole angle of sharing horrific stuff for shits and giggle though… so yeah it really doesn’t matter.
Usually yes, but, at least in programming, "data is code, code is data" is a meme, in the sense that it's sharable. And it's not exactly funny, it's just an idea.
But yeah, meme is used for intense-based jokes because it's the norm
Seems wrong to consider regular jokes as internet memes
What are chain email jokes than the OG meme? If you take a picture of the joke and share it, you just memed it. Share it vocally, and yeah it’s not then.
What if you write it again? And I meant that it doesn't seem right even though it technically mighr be.
I agree, but also, how’s that different than copying/pasting, which is a short hop to a screen grab. So it’s an either all or nothing thing I think unfortunately.
No I agree on all or nothing, I'm just saying I'd go with nothing
