Stop posting meta, discussion and text posts in meme communities. There are other places for that (self.general)

There are more general conversation posts than shitposts in [email protected] If you wanna discuss about something just post it on the appropriate discussion community, not in [email protected]

Half of the """fun""" stuff is extremely depressing. Can someone explain to me how an overused meme about "Big corporations are destroying our world, stealing our wealth and you can't do anything about it" is "fun"

I don't wanna sound like a dopamine addict or a "Commies ruined my Lemmy" type of guy because I'm really not. I would happily take part in these discussions if they were posted on !politics I just don't wanna get reminded of these things while I'm just lurking around and trying to empty my head

Only [email protected] knows how to post properly but even they suffer those same things and they are still not as great as r/196 from Reddit before it was closed

Again my complaints are not about the content, it's great but rather it's about how nothing is categorized properly. If I wanna have fun and laugh a bit I don't wanna get interrupted by doomer posts and if I wanna get serious and discuss something I want an actual discussion post and not the comment section of a meme
