Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

They did a study around the 2020 elections and have found the following to work with trolls:
Respond once with the facts (if you must), and then walk away. I have found Lemmy not needing that most of the time, just downvoting seems to work. But if you're on the place that shall not be named, this works.
I wish lemmy had the feature where you can mute all replies to a comment.
Also very much appreciated if you can share the study it sounds interesting.
Yes, that and the tagging of users.
Also you can tag users.

Thanks, I didn't realize that worked here. But I meant tagging a user as awesome or a troll or whatever. That way, when you kind of remember seeing the name and they seem like they're trolling, I can tell right away if I've had previous interactions with them. RES was awesome for that.
Ah that makes sense. That would be nifty. Because my block list these days is based on “this person said fucked up shit and i vaguely remember them saying more fucked up shit a while ago but cant fully remember if its them”
Exaxtly that, I just don't have the bandwidth.
With Boost for Lemmy you can tag people atleast.
Sorry I see you replied before I edited my comment. Don’t feel forced as it isn’t that important but if you have the original study handy I’d appreciate a link because it sounds interesting.
That was years ago. I'm sure I saved it on reddit, but I haven't been back there since I switched. Sorry about that. It was a real study though, they were trying to figure out all of he social media trolling from Cambridge Analytica and all that. It might have been even earlier.
