No. Memes are for the people. No brands, no watermarks. Putting logos and trademarks on everything to indicate who they belong to is what corporations do.

Besides, I'm not even ON lemmy, yet I can post here too.

They are for the people, but what's the problem with showing where a meme originated from?

They all originate from either a goth teenager or some 40yr old in his parents basement. Why give credit to a random posting platform?

It's more about calling people to join, not about claiming authorship from my perspective
