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

I don't really care either way about the outcome, but thank you for your honesty and transparency here. I think it's important that the community chooses their rule changes instead of a few mods. Maybe we could have a vote?

Coming out of the cave to point the numbers under the post. Seems that a clear majority has emerged from a honest discussion.

You mean a vote on who will be a new mod?

Interestingly enough this sublemmy never has any reports etc, y'all really are behaving very well.

I meant vote on the rule change.

Aaaaah, I see!

The screenshots have stopped anyways, so it's no longer relevant. You agree?

It looks like we've moved on to old memes instead!

I love the energy that the meme subs on lemmy have developed.
