Inspired by an appeal for scat. Not the ski-de-be-bop variety.

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.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

You have found a method that works and you are putting into practice what you think is best. Automatically cements my respect for you because those are things I can get behind.
This isn’t a with all due respect statement, just sincerity, that method doesn’t work for me. I cannot walk away from every chance I come across to challenge my positions because I believe that means losing on opportunities to strengthen my beliefs. This means that sometimes I’m gonna need to get down in the mud, get my hands dirty and make an ass of myself.
Thank you!
I may need some clarification - you thinking I’m usually polite when I refute while you aim to provoke, or something? Since neither of us block people from what you said earlier.
I don’t think anything about your attitude or demeanor when responding to others. I was referring more towards you saying to simply not engage with the trolls at all so that newbies would get the impression that we’re better than that as the difference between us.
Ah, I DO engage - sometimes the behavior is reportable and I’ll downvote and ignore, but when someone is following the rules yet still being a jerk, I’ll poke fun or something.
If someone is being hateful and I block them (because the pig would enjoy a fight), others may see a hateful message.
If someone is being hateful and I reply with love or jokes, others will see hate AND pushback. Hopefully that makes Lemmy feel more welcoming ‘n’ just better overall.
I can agree with not engaging with hate and reporting it as encountered.
