Post memes here.

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.

I know they post a lot of memes, and they might not be to everyone's tastes, but I feel like some people's reactions to PugJesus have been quite horrible really, and I expect better of this community.

And I am not meaning the other post requesting they post less, rather, I mean the comments I have seen left by various people saying some rather mean things about PugJesus.

PugJesus, thank you for providing us with memes, and content, and don't let the haters get to you.

thank 🙏 It does mean a lot to know that some people appreciate the memes I'm sharing! I am gonna post less often, though, simply because I'm not here to agitate anyone.

I enjoy your posts. I also like your handle.

You may as well slow down, that stash isn't gonna last forever.

Well, I rather don't want it to. I was hoping by the time I run out the place would be popping enough that no more would be needed from me.

The solution, we all post memes non stop

Who's hating on Pugjesus? If we all posted even half as much as PJ posted, we would never be starved for content. We could all use a Pugjesus in our communities.

Nothing against pugjesus, but I prefer quality over quantity, and 97% of their memes are just awful.

I understand the sentiment. I remember Digg and early communities. The issue with small communities is 1 or 2 active posters can seem like they are the only posters. To me, that makes me nervous because I remember places that would prevent new or smaller members' threads from being seen. I don't think that's what's happening here but the pattern matching might be causing similar sentiments.

The solution: everyone post more memes.

It a free world at least

Hey, I want to see the original PugJesus meme! Show me the PugJesus meme!

I think it's more that people don't want micro celebrities like Reddit had even though it's kinda unavoidable

That may be so, but it's no excuse for treating them horribly.
