Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I'll see you in the future... maybe sooner than you think?

Edit: Follow up post is here. Don't worry. You're not getting rid of me that easy. I'm just switching to piefed.world

What's the issue with memes? I have a piefed.social account set up for when the platform is mature enough for me to bail on Lemmy, but I'll happily go elsewhere if there's a good reason.

We just feel differently about how or what memes add to the fediverse. It really is just a difference in philosophy. As far as I'm aware, there are no serious differences. It's just minor. Rimu and I had a discussion about it a while back and there's no bad blood or anything, we see things differently on the Fediverse. Rimu, from what I can tell, prefers things to be a bit more conversational and discussion based. I like things to be a blend of discussions and memes. That's really about it.

Ah, okay. As long as .social is just limiting hosting memes, not blocking them from elsewhere, I don't have a problem with them. I'm with you, I think memes have their place.
