We had a very efficient and funny campaign to inform the general public that screenshots are not memes. However, people keep posting screenshots in this community. I propose that we establish a rule banning screenshots. Maybe there is a dedicated community or screenshots enthusiasts could create one. Of course if this proposal is widely opposed, I will withdraw it and go hide in a cave, never to be heard again. Also, cartoons are not memes either but this is a battle for another day.

Edit: added brackets to the title for clarity

We can hope. But in the end it’s the people who post that will decide. I think we should continue to allow the people and culture of the sub to define itself, instead of making mandates

If we do that, the culture will be defined by people who don’t care about the culture.

A proper discussion followed by polls to establish rules would greatly increase the content quality now that lemmy is moving towards mainstream.

Are users not the ones who care about the culture?
