dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Our posting power remains unrivalled. If they hadn't banned /r/CTH years ago they would have had to do it today.

I was told that the news megathread was intended to protect the sharing of smaller news stories that the hexbear algorithm normally crush. Mods even said that chatter in the news mega thread was supposed to end.

Now a big news story happens and the whole front page has threads that people can talk in about it, but also people are flooding the mega thread which is intended to preserve visibility of less visible stories. That does not make sense. How is anyone supposed to see other news stories from today? (or the last 5 days)

Converting the weekly new megathread into another "trump got shot" thread killed the visibility of every lesser news story of the past 5 days.
