A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

That's because you've been rate limited trying passwords for an hour. When an attacker is randomly trying incorrect passwords, even the correct password will be rejected. Otherwise the protection wouldn't be very useful.
Had a convo with someone a while back:
Bug report: “The ‘reset password’ form doesn’t show an error if you try to reset an account that doesn’t exist.”
Me: “That would be a security risk. Closed.”
Them: “What? How? You have to click the link in the email before it does anything.”
Me: “Try putting in a bogus email on the login screen. See how it says ‘wrong email/password combination’, and not ‘no such account’? If we tell the user whether we recognize a given email, we’re basically providing attackers a list of users they can try passwords for.”
But then there would be no harm in just stating the rate limit :(
