Memes on c/Games - yes or no?
Hey all!
Since Lemmy is a new platform with new communities. We as the c/Games community have to decide what we want to be.
The last days I saw several posts with (low) effort memes. Some seem to enjoy it, some report it because they want a more serious discussion on here.
Therefore, I would like to ask you for your opinion: What should happen to memes on this community?
Please take a moment to fill in the poll. It will close on Monday.

Also feel free to discuss it in the comments!

I voted no. I would prefer this community to be more like r/Games than r/gaming. I would rather the community be about game news, reviews, and discussions.
Allowing a single day of the week will lead to more work on the moderators than a general ban. It also makes the community less usable on those days. I also worry that it will destroy viewing the community by top posts.
I wanted to write a whole paragraph but you summed it up nicely. I'd also add that I'm afraid allowing memes, even on a single day, could be a slippery slope, and that I'd rather keep them on another community.
yeah, I think trying to make everyone happy with forced coexistence (instead of just having two distinct areas) might actually be likely to only create more friction
