These guys under obvious joke meme posts.

I remember I said "literally 1984" and a bunch of people just did not understand the joke and proceeded to write multi paragraph replies detailing why I'm wrong and that "you obviously never read the book"

Should have said "illiterately 1984"... *badum-tss*

that's 4chan shit - people are definitely here using "reaction images" which is a 4chan thing from like fucking 2012

I was meaning more like the nerds going in depth about subject matter right under a joke meme post. As if it was posted in a science based community. This is what I picture them looking like while I’m reading them.

Do you know what a reaction image is? It's literally what you posted and just described.

Someone posts, someone comments to the post with an image as a reaction.

It's 4chan shit. I was there when that trend started and I watched it spread to other sites. It's also meant to get people to react. That's what those commenters are looking for. Doesn't matter where its being posted.

Yes, I understand what you are saying. I am explaining that that’s not what I was talking about. I wasn’t reacting to anything and I was not explaining anybody reacting to anything with an image.

Edit: to be more clear, take the meme photo, I used above as actual photo footage of a nerdy fuck under a meme, trying to define some scientific facts. This post was about what annoys you. This annoys me.

I wasn’t reacting to anything and I was not explaining anybody reacting to anything with an image.

Okay, now I feel like you are really misunderstanding me because that's also not what I was saying.

the meme photo you used IS a reaction image.

I KNOW….. what is it you are getting at? I wasn’t using it in the way that you are complaining about. it’s also not something that annoys me. I do not give a shit if somebody responds to a post with an image.

I KNOW…… what is it you are getting at?

Please explain it back then. I'm very curious.

If your complaint in this thread is that I used a reactionary image then ok…. I’m just trying to tell you I wasn’t using it how you are bitching about. I wasn’t using this meme as an insult to the OP. I was using it as a descriptor of the type of fucking idiots I hate seeing on Lemmy. Which is what this post is about.

Yes. I am aware of all of that. That was never my complaint. My original post wasn't even a complaint. I was just informing you.
