minus-squareWarmSodalinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-210 months agoDo people actually consider sharing memes “stealing”? Or is that just a joke some people took seriously.
minus-squareWYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·10 months agoYes, some do. People get territorial over the strangest stuff.
minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-210 months agoI 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.
minus-squareWarmSodalinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoI just think it’s funny since a meme is literally something that’s shared.
minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoExactly! I’d be thrilled if anyone ever reshared one that I’ve made. That’s what they’re for.
minus-squareWarmSodalinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-210 months agoRight? Shit I’m happy with a few upvotes and a comment lol
minus-squareWYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 months agoExactly, 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!

That’s hilarious
