I would say right after reddit. So many reposts on Lemmy from reddit.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Mostly due to repost bots.

Remove em and it becomes better.

Also 4chan shouldn't act like it's all original either. Nowadays they to a large degree copy from Twitter and Reddit.

The meme is also outdated and it shows. Tumblr became its own ecosystem in the last few years thanks to Elons dumb antics on Twitter.

9gag also directly steals from reddit. They run scraping bots specifically to steal popular reddit posts.

I have seen mention of removing bots. Is there a way to do it for all repost bots? Our only blocking one at a time? Thanks!

[–] Rentlar 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is a method to turn off all posts from accounts with the bot flag.

In your user settings:

Uncheck the Show Bot Accounts box, and press Save.

Thanks so much!

There's still so many screenshots of Twitter. And I saw a couple of 9gag watermarks.

tbf it's mor like a branch from reddit. Lemmy doesn't feed anyone yet

[–] [email protected] 104 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This list might have been true 10 years ago

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

I can't even think of a meme that 4chan has~~n't~~ come up with in the past decade (new racial slurs don't count)

Back in 2009 they were the bleeding edge for shitposts though

Edit: am illiterate

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

All the memes that are hot with Gen Z start on tiktok. They're usually video based so couldn't be on 4chan to begin with

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You're absolutely right, 4chan had the sauce back in the day.

Now it's just sad.

[–] ininewcrow 11 points 1 year ago

I got into it for a while about ten years ago and at the time a lot of their content was spilling over to other sites and they were equal parts brilliant, stupid, witty, retarded, open and bigoted. They were a source of a lot of internet chatter that got people talking.

Now I go on once in a while to check in on them .... and it feels like they're stuck in the same rut and it's the same group of weirdos trying to restart things that had already been done years ago. They're not new anymore and they just sound like a broken recording playing the same thing over and over again. It was funny the first few times .... now it's just sad and stupid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My thoughts on 4chan as a breeding ground of a pile of internet culture, the pretty well unrestrained anarchy that defines the place mixed with the ability to post whatever insanity drips out of your head makes for a perfect shit storm.

It's a lot like bacteria in a petri dish, generations of meme evolutions happen in a matter of days until something shows up that's so virulent it infects the rest of the web.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, its just not the same once mootles left

Now there's LinkedIn between Facebook and Instagram

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's about right for lemmy though isn't it?

[–] Fogle 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a separate line coming off Reddit

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

A splash if you will

[–] Pratai 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends on what instance/community. For example,

lemmygrad and Hexbear are a closed loop. They just trade shit back and forth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've never seen an original meme format there. It's just political opinions in recycled formats

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This was maybe true 7 years ago or so. But I can't name a single meme that has come out of 4chan since Soyjaks went out of fashion (and I honestly think Soyjaks directly killed 4chan's relevance to wider internet culture.)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Q-anon is probably the biggest one.

Check out the HBO documentary 'Q: Into the Storm'.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There's oc on most of the platforms listed, but it's all such an incestuous clusterfuck that the order can never truly be determined.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but how else am I gonna make a funny meme that makes people go "OMG so true"

No one is in a line feeding one to the other ..... everyone is just in one giant hog pen where we keep picking up shit and flinging it at each other

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

What's the M one?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Twitter should be above Reddit

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A lot of Tumblr stuff on reddit too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At this point we might change the diagram to a circleshit.

[–] ininewcrow 3 points 1 year ago

I think it's more like a cess pool and everyone is wallowing around it all thinking their part of the pool is better than anyone else.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is wrong because 4chan fucking loves eating shit. We'd rush back down to the bottom and shove the table kid out of the way

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it should definitely be a circle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's most of the shit eating is that one guy on /b/

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lemmy sits in the corner, just watching :3

Guy in the corner meme : They don't know I don't even have a steady stream of memes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"They don't know I daily post oc on Risa ..."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Risa is jacking it into 4 chans mouth. I only post OP stuff

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll be the one to say it: it's way down the bottom of the chart. I see so many memes from like 1994 that it's almost more like the completion of a shit circle than a straight shit line.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're seeing them here, there was quite a bit here where posting old memes was a thing. It wasn't just then making it to the fediverse, but nostalgia posting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I hope we do old meme July again next year. That was so much fun.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Not enough recursion, at all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you synchronize all this pooping? Is this what NTP is for?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel discriminated against!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same we’re so oppressed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I didn’t vote for this!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know what the three between the two facebooks are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

iFunny, 9gag and I don't know what the M is.
