Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn’t sure if [email protected] or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

    I just wish the top posts on the meme pages were more than just an anti-capitalist caption and a vaguely related image.

        Omg [email protected] is also amazing, check it out! Also there’s Risa and the Star Wars memes etc. - there are so many fantastic memes communities available:-).

        Separately, you may be interested to know that the entire “vibe” of Lemmy has changed in the last two weeks. Very seriously, check out an instance where you are not logged in and just take a peek at what the most popular content is lately. I’m not suggesting that you wallow in it but you should know what’s going on lately bc it affects the future of us all.

          I’m not familiar with Star Trek, so I usually don’t get those memes

          The entire USA vibe has changed in the last two weeks, from what we can see on every social media. What happened is an important historical events, it has repercussions on all aspects of USA society

            True, and btw I don’t mean that there is not good/great reasons for such even - people are DYING.

            I was just pushing that thought since we were initially responding to:

            It’s creating an environment where people who can’t handle the cultural shifts (e.g. not everyone is neurotypical) are having to heavily curate their experiences.

              Non Americans already had to curate their experience for weeks before and during the US presidential election

                Not everyone wants that, but excellent point about the fact that some do:-).

                And there, as now, it would be nice to constrain things.
