Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I post a lot to Lemmy, and the majority of the memes I share are stolen from elsewhere on the internet (although I try to give credit if it's art and I get it from the creator). I've only personally made like 10 or so, so far.

Occasionally someone takes offense.

I just think it's funny since a meme is literally something that's shared.

Exactly! I'd be thrilled if anyone ever reshared one that I've made. That's what they're for.

Right? Shit I'm happy with a few upvotes and a comment lol

Exactly, yet there’s always a few sour apples pissing in the barrel. 🙄

I’d be thrilled if something I made was reposted, even without credit. In a place where memes go by so fast, it’s nice to be reminded of a classic!
