It’s also possible that I just personally feel what is being posted isn’t a meme but most disagree, especially given the amount of upvotes received. And of course, the boundary sometimes between a meme and inspirational picture can be blurry, and something probably difficult to hammer down in rules…
I admit part of why I stopped contributing anything (even though I am supposed to be the change I want to see) is because I feel it’s less a space for nice memes and more for a space of inspirational encouraging pictures nowadays with titles like “it’s true,” “it really does”. I’m glad people get value out of it and am wondering if anyone knows of a Threadiverse community for memes free of depressing/doomer or political memes, or if I’ll need to make it myself.
For what it is worth I do try to contribute with posts in communities I am in and I understand the challenge. I mod !blood_donors@healthy.community. I mostly just post whenever I donate, which is bound to be very occasional because of the required donation intervals (2 weeks for platelets if I recall correctly, 8 weeks for regular whole blood) and what my own schedule can accommodate. I sometimes seek out scientific research on blood donation to post, but eventually I’m going to run out.
Thank you for the long reply! I suppose I should post my funny internet images here again to help out, even if I am admittedly not too pleased with the seemingly-new direction (though better inspirational pictures I don’t vibe with than the depressing or political stuff that actually makes me feel bad).
Thank you for modding Blood donors! That’s pretty cool, dude. And yeah, we can use whatever pick-me-up we can get right now - they’re not my fave either, but I’ll take what I can get.
