Hey all!

Since Lemmy is a new platform with new communities. We as the c/Games community have to decide what we want to be.

The last days I saw several posts with (low) effort memes. Some seem to enjoy it, some report it because they want a more serious discussion on here.

Therefore, I would like to ask you for your opinion: What should happen to memes on this community?

Please take a moment to fill in the poll. It will close on Monday.

Also feel free to discuss it in the comments!

    So with a little under 3 hours to go it looks like the community has done the right thing and picked no memes at all (by around 120 votes as it currently stands).

    Now let’s see about blocking photo posts and other low-effort garbage, too, while we’re at it.

    It’s pretty clear from the vote and the comments that we want this to be the equivalent of /r/games - text posts and links only. If someone needs to show off their hall effect stick mod or a photo of some dude flipping the bird, they can do it in a hardware-dedicated or circlejerk community where that kind of thing belongs (respectively).
