      Bean posting was just a decades old rehash of a trend. It’s really not much better.

      At least with Stroganoff, it had a funny origin(Google Opinion Survey asking if you want “important updates about Beef Stroganoff”).

      Most of these are just “hrrr drrr this is dumb so let’s trend it”.

        Lemmy is basically reddit. It’s not any better than reddit was, it doesn’t have some enlightened users etc. It’s par for the course.

        This is the Reddit replacement website. Everyone here probably came from Reddit. What do you expect?

          The tankies and the Linux trans femboys who were here before us would disagree. But the mass influx cannot be ignored.

    I was going to write this in one of the many many boring posts, but didn’t want to make it more popular. I understand trend and too much time on their hands but deploying AI to spam same thing like this just gets boring after a few examples. Move on

    I… don’t care…?

    Such is the nature of the internet. It’ll run itself out soon and become established lore. Beans and beef stroganoff went through that progression too.

    Don’t know whether to upvote for the comic being funny or downvote for the “you’re not having fun the right way!” lecture…

    Ah fuck it, I’ll do the former.

      When half your feed becomes nothing but trousers and beans and planes, it gets really fatiguing after the umpteenth day of it in a row. It was amusing for a bit, but people have taken that ball too far for my own personal enjoyment.

          US political “memes” at a time when the campaign for the next elections there is already informally going, are especially “special” - “this guy is nice”, “this guy is mean”, “vote for our guy” messaging is not at all Satire, it’s Propaganda even when in wannabe-meme form.

        I agree that it can get fatiguing after umpteen days, but it’s only been like a day or two.

        And that’s absolutely fine. You’re allowed to not enjoy stuff. Lecturing others for enjoying stuff together without hurting anyone, on the other hand, is just petty and authoritarian fun policing in my opinion, though 🤷

          I always love how it’s the people advocating for an unregulated shit show calling everyone else facists if we won’t let you destroy something that others enjoy.

            Whoa, where’d you dig up that gigantic strawman??

            If you check my history, you’ll find that I’m very much in favor of common sense regulation where needed and the only people I call fascists are actual fascists like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu.

            Others posting a meme you don’t like anymore isn’t destroying Lemmy. Please stop being an overdramatic wet blanket and just let people enjoy their jemes until they too get tired of them and move on to the next thing.

        Oh I got that, not as if it was really subtle, but if you’re going to complain about the content posted by others and that people are leaving, you should post content that doesn’t belong in another community because people might as well subscribe to c/comics if that’s what you want to share here.

    looks like you’re asking not to farm a non-existent metric in order to keep up with another useless metric. I’d prefer ppl who participate than those who part
