I mean, it does balance out .world sent-by-my-dad memes, otherwise this place would basically turn into reddit.
I have to agree lately tho I've seen a lot of very low-effort political/ideological memes. They should get better.

Exactly, that's the point. The ideological posts have become so much that they're not even memes nor are they funny anymore.
I mean, you're saying that from a Lemmy.world account, where it's far worse and entirely focused on US Electoralism right now.
I would say that's cherry picking, because posts about politics and other politically related stuff don't make it onto non-political communities. Besides, I'm willing to bet a lot of the "US Electoralism" is mostly coming from outsiders. Particularly those from ml, lemm.ee, etc.
It's the opposite, the majority of Trump v Kamala posts come from Lemmy.world users and communities, Commies tend to reject both.
Ok, you might be right, but that's besides the point. I'm saying a lot of the memes posted on this community aren't memes. They're just ideological circlejerk
What's the difference?
Actually the idea that memes should be 'good' is a dangerous lie perpeuated by the capitalist cishet white patriarchy. Memes are supposed to be brave and important.
The fact i had to decipher whether this was a joke or not speaks volumes about this community
Jokes aren't real, open your eyes sheeple!
Now this is funny
You too, thanks.
Edit: pro tip, mute the nerd posting what you don't like. There are only a couple of dorks (like me) that generate the majority of shitposts.
TL;DR - mute me
