MODERATORS
Do people actually consider sharing memes "stealing"? Or is that just a joke some people took seriously.
Yes, some do. People get territorial over the strangest stuff.
That's hilarious
I post a lot to Lemmy, and the majority of the memes I share are stolen from elsewhere on the internet (although I try to give credit if it's art and I get it from the creator). I've only personally made like 10 or so, so far.
Occasionally someone takes offense.
I just think it's funny since a meme is literally something that's shared.
Exactly! I'd be thrilled if anyone ever reshared one that I've made. That's what they're for.
Me too!
Right? Shit I'm happy with a few upvotes and a comment lol
Exactly, yet there’s always a few sour apples pissing in the barrel. 🙄
I’d be thrilled if something I made was reposted, even without credit. In a place where memes go by so fast, it’s nice to be reminded of a classic!
