Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Isn’t that the point of Lemmy? So you don’t have to rawdog news?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

yeah i suppose that’s better

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I mean news is literally the only reason why I visit Lemmy.

When I want memes, I go to imgur.

How about:
Isn’t that the point of Lemmy? So you can get additional context and perspectives with the news?

Same, felt weird.

Beyond that, I learned about it via a particularly cold meme.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago

I was glad to see that meme to remember the anecdote. Valuable info in these times.
