A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

Serious question... What's the answer to paying for services like this? If everyone adblocks, how can they be sustainable? Will journalism just die because no one wants to pay or see ads?
They could try not putting so many ads you can't fucking read and making sure they don't contain malware. That'd be a start.
A lot of these things are due to the greed of the website owners stuffing as many ads as they possibly can into their sites.
for a while there was a service called Scroll for like $5 a month, you wouldn't see ads and your monthly payment would get divided between all the articles you viewed that month. they were partnered with Firefox and supposedly privacy friendly. they were bought by twitter and essentially killed.
edit: wikipedia
I'd happily subscribe to that. Even though I hate subscriptions, I hate ads way more.
