    Absolutely. I wonder if this mentality will come back here in some places eventually…

      It will, because people will become tired of scrolling through meters of stuff they have already seen. It will start by people downvoting things they have seen multiple times, then they will try to block users doing it and if it doesn’t help the complaining will start.

        Perhaps, hoping in the future we will have better tools to prevent it or curate feeds better to suit a user’s liking.

        Server or communities with stricter rules on reposting could emerge to mitigate it as well.

        Luckily, it seems there is a solid chunk of OC in with the old memes, plus all the Star Trek themed memes are new to me for sure so I’m none the wiser there.
