Seriously, I don’t get it.
Just an internet fad, it will be over soon enough.
Return to beans!
I’ve been patiently waiting for moths pondering orbs
Please post a moth pondering it’s lamp
That does seem like it’s a meme waiting to happen, what with orbs glowing like lamps.
Best I can do (right now)
They have lämp.
Shitposters on Lemmy tend to do stuff in waves and one particular user posted the memes to the point of spam which artificially started this one. That’s all there is to it.
That’s all there is to it
I feel personally attacked. I identify myself with these memes.
It’s not even funny IMHO, or maybe I’m getting old
For real. They weren’t even funny the first time they came around in 2018. Shitposts used to be quality
I’m old and I think they’re fucking hilarious. I think what you’re missing is the “be a moron” part.
Some of these memes are clever, some even made me smile.
We’re getting old 😂
Lemmy hivemind
Would you prefer beans?
I decided to start blocking the people posting them. It turns out, it was literally one user making it a spam problem. I blocked one or two more on principle and haven’t seen a moth meme since.
I’ve been aggressively blocking annoying users and communities and my Lemmy experience has been much better for it.
It’s really interesting how there are quite a few people who don’t realize it’s only one person posting them. Like yesterday I was talking to someone who complained about ‘all the people’ posting moths and it was quite funny when he realized it really was just one single user. I guess not many look at the usernames.
I just wanted to say
My just-woke-up brain combined these two into “how do you cope with moth memes”
Well, how do you cope with moth memes?
Bats.
Beans
Imagine a fictional creature that has wings like a bat and foot-beans like a cat
Beans, Bears, Battlestar Galactica
Personally, I’ve enjoyed the resurgence because of nostalgia for that time of memes. Even shared a bunch to another server and got praise lol
Oh man wait till you hear about the beans
Spam by one user, plus some isolated copycats
Be the meme you wanna see
The shitpost and meme communites used to be full of really good memes that made it so much better than Reddit crap. Then it devolved into actual shitposts about beans and moths and other stuff that’s not funny after the 2nd time. So now they really are just fucking trash communities, full of AI slop, political crap, and actual useless shitposts…worst part is that mods don’t seem to care… rip Lemmy. It was supposed to be a great Reddit alternative and instead is ruined due to mod negligence.
These shit-quality shitposts are like the spaz kid at lunchtime showing you his “meme collection” against your will. I get serious secondhand embarrassment from seeing them. It’s sad seeing Lemmy’s shitpost community devolve into 9gag/ifunny.
Yep, and it’s very strange that we’re both being downvoted for having this opinion. I have no odea why the hivemind here is determined to make this a 9gag-like dogshit platform. It’s incredibly confusing. Why doesn’t anyone care?
Do you know what a shitpost is?
Do you know what actually reading a reply carefully is? The shitpost community was one example I used. It also used to be actually funny original meme content. Man, why am I wasting my time replying to clowns? Enjoy actively making Lemmy worse and have a good day.
Idiots like to do idiotic things on the internet. There’s nothing to get.
These started popping up just after I started seeing a bunch of moths in my house. How did they get in my phone?!
I had one fly into the hinge of my laptop last night. What a weirdo.
