Hey all!
Since Lemmy is a new platform with new communities. We as the c/Games community have to decide what we want to be.
The last days I saw several posts with (low) effort memes. Some seem to enjoy it, some report it because they want a more serious discussion on here.
Therefore, I would like to ask you for your opinion: What should happen to memes on this community?
Please take a moment to fill in the poll. It will close on Monday.

Also feel free to discuss it in the comments!
I like the choice for a single day of the week - seems a good happy medium.
I'm not even sold on the one day a week option. Maybe the mods can do a stickied megathread one day a week and all the memesters can just pile in there and have at it. If the community itself is just going to be flooded with memes one day a week, though, that essentially makes it unusable that day and reduces the overall value of the entire community.
Keep them out altogether or keep them severely constrained so those who don't want anything to do with them can easily ignore them are the only two viable options.
This suggestion seems to be what I would prefer. It will make it easier to ignore for people who don't want to engage with that kind of content.
