I was scrolling through top/day, and all the memes are criticizing America. Oil memes and stuff like that. Why is that (not the memes in themselves, but the near unanimousness of the themes)?

    Haven’t seen it myself but because Lemmy has a relatively small user base it’s fairly easy to just flood it with content and have a significant portion show up on the front page. If you’re seeing a sudden influx of a specific type of meme, my guess is that’s just someone sending a lot of the same kind of content ar once.

    I thought most of them were from the same guy. One or two were mildly funny, but posting basically the same joke a dozen times in a row is arguably not how to make it shine. Also, a couple people might have heard the ol’ “DAE le USA le oil eggs dee” before.

      When I first noticed the memes, I looked at the account making them and it was less than a day old. I just figured they had an axe to grind or it was an election season bot and blocked the account, lol.

      Why don’t people get that posting a million memes about the same thing in a row gets tiring? I don’t give a shit about what the subject is, just space them out or something.

      A couple of America and oil memes? Funny. 10 nearly identical copies of a meme in a row? Starts to get grating.

    It’s probably that one nazbol guy who spams crappy “left” memes who I blocked awhile ago because i’m not seeing anything like that.

    EDIT: I also have LW and HB instance blocked (as i’m banned from both) which probably has a lot to do with it as well.

    USA does bad things

    Some people make memes about it

    People in the USA:

    Let’s make our country accountable for bad thing it does

    What’s happening? My fee fees are hurt.

    Or the most popular:

    We don’t even think about your country

    Then they call others snowflakes. ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ

    Aren’t you folks supposed to be all for “freedom of expression” or something. Oh right… that’s only when youre the one spewing the bullshit.

      Who’s they? A population of 300 million people? The USA is large and diverse, it can’t be simplied in the way you’re describing just like the EU couldn’t. Social media and meme propaganda doesn’t represent a country and it’s people.
