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.

I absolutely despised the low effort shit in rgaming.

But please please please, if you’re going to accept low effort crap, make people post the title of the game in the post.

oh man, I'm glad I'm not the only one that's always been annoyed by that on reddit.

So many times, you'd just get a post like "man you know this guys a real one" with a picture of some pixelated lifeguard, 30 comments of people like "yeah thats my boy 🙌🙌🙌", and then one poor guy at the bottom sitting at -30 just trying to find out what's going on.

No memes. If there must be gaming memes let them be in their own place. They're low effort and don't add anything to good conversation.

I voted no. Reddit has separate subreddits for gaming discussion and gaming memes and I would like it to stay that way here.

I guess no then it's a shame I like my communitys be a mix of memes and discussions. Hope someone makes a place for gaming memes

To encourage growth, I say yes.

Once we have a ton of users that can keep a discussion going drop the memes and let this become like the Reddit games sub.
