      We’re 10k users. There’s not that much content on here. I didn’t post almost ever on reddit, but considering we need content, I steal images I find funny off imgur and post them here in an attempt to add content to the network.

      If we fragment our ‘funny posts’ in tens of subreddits from dozens of instances most users aren’t subscribed to or don’t often browse, we’ll have a lot less to keep ourselves entertained.

      Instead of trying to gatekeep when we hardly have enough users, why don’t you post things you do find appropriate for this subreddit and just scroll past or downvote what upsets you and move on? There’s no place or need for this sort of elitism and offering nothing better in return right now.

      I’ve been around long enough to see this argument pop up on meme pages many times. And every single time you cynical people are proven wrong by the upvote ratio.

        It’s not an argument it’s a fact. Memes require OP to actually create something. Screenshots are funny reposts. Upvote ratio is a fact too, hence the proposal to have a welcoming place for screenshots.
