      If you’re being unironic, thanks ☺️.

      If you’re being ironic because this is more a political thing than a meme, microblogmemes is meant to be a whitepeopletwitter alternative that doesn’t divide based on race.

        Also the original (and more useful) definition is “a gene, but for ideas”. This is an idea that more people should consider, so it qualifies anyways.

            Literally any shared idea is a meme.

            We have an actual original definition to refer to. It’s Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, and it’s very comparable to general “message” in information theory. “Internet memes” fit into his definition exactly.

              If everything is a meme then nothing is a meme.

              Internet meme means a picture that is funny, ironic or relateable. This is none of those. This is a screenshot of an political opinion.

                You’re missing the point. Meme isn’t something you gatekeep. It’s simply a term for any arbitrary amount of idea. Everything is a meme.

                Your argument is like saying “nothing has mass if you call everything mass”.

        Whitepeopletwitter isn’t for political opinions either. The content is supposed to be entertaining.

          Whitepeopletwitter is in practice atleast 50% political opinions.

          I don’t know why you care so much about this? Does disability rights bother you?

            I’m trying to curate my feed so that it wouldn’t be 100% politics and people like you are making it quite difficult posting that even on meme communities.

              Then unsubscribe from this community. Or block me?

              Simple. No need to make 20 comments on this post and waste everyone’s time. I’m not going to change my posting habits just for you when it looks like hundreds of people upvoted the post. So just block me :)

                Or you could just post things to their appropriate communities. Simple.
