We had a very efficient and funny campaign to inform the general public that screenshots are not memes. However, people keep posting screenshots in this community. I propose that we establish a rule banning screenshots. Maybe there is a dedicated community or screenshots enthusiasts could create one. Of course if this proposal is widely opposed, I will withdraw it and go hide in a cave, never to be heard again. Also, cartoons are not memes either but this is a battle for another day.

Edit: added brackets to the title for clarity

This sub needs more mods, I don’t want to make this decision by myself. At the moment it seems like not everyone agrees with you.

Hi, @Number358@lemmy.world suggested I added brackets to the title. Are there guidelines about title edition?

I and the lemmy.ml server admins can appoint them. And @gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml, the other mod can also of course.

I just downvote any uncropped screenshot and ignore the content at this point. Have people really gotten too stupid to crop?

We are in the social media age… yes, people really gotten too stupid for those kinds of things. Same with taking photos of screens instead of making a screenshot.
