Edit: the results are in!

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!

    Absolutely no memes please. Right now, r/games is easily the subreddit that I miss the most, and it’s because it was entirely news and discussion focused. I sincerely hope I can turn to this community for most of my gaming news, and don’t want to see an influx of memes.

      Yes, 100%. I want that one-stop shop for game news and discussion. I don’t need meme reposts here.

      Pretty much this, I want a concentrated source of gaming news and relevant media, at worst having one day a week set aside for jokes or less relevant content. But even that begs why not just make another sub like gamingmemes. Keep each c/ focused and on topic, people can join/make subs that fall outside the scope .

      100% agreed. There was r/gaming for the memes side of things and that place was usually a pretty terrible community (partially because it was a main subreddit). I’d rather have a discussion focused place here.
