Anything humans spread around and share other than our DNA is a meme. The definition of a meme is "non-genetic information shared by any means."

Brave souls risk their lives and sanity digging those screenshots out of the cesspits for your viewing pleasure.

I like to throw this one around on occasion.

Edit: I'm looking through the community now in the past few hours...

You're right but i gave up on this battle years ago.

Saw this "stop posting content" rant, just below it in my feed is a "Why doesn't anyone post on the fediverse!?!?" rant

I wonder if these things are related.

A meme is a meme, regardless if it has been screenshot. it is the content not the vessel

I see a bit of both sides being argued in the comments here. We don't have a clear rule about this atm, so removals have been inconsistent and case-by-case, often based on reports.

Maybe I'll start and pin a discussion thread about this during the week (when we'll get the most eyes on it) and see what the wider community wants, and if desired, maybe we can come up with a rule wording that isn't too restrictive, but removes stuff that genuinely feels "off topic" for a memes page.

I don’t mind those posts.

Most of the "real" memes that get posted are terrible, so I can't say I mind too much.

I mean, it is though. A meme is an idea that has been spread, and even if that wasn't the literal definition of it, people have modified the idea of what a meme was into what it is now. You are simply outnumbered and clinging to an outdated definition.
