Agreed this image could use a few more labels.
SUN
TREE IN SUN
BIG FLAME
SHADOWS MADE FROM BIG FLAME
PEOPLE WHO SIT
ME WHO STANDS
STAIRCASE OF LIBERALISM
and then just a big word METAPHOR across all of it
I'd put up the label SIMILE just to troll the grammar nazis
holy shit i looked this guy up.
his shit is hysterical.
Okay I get what you're going for but this is the most circlejerky shit imaginable
Can you contribute a meme that conveys the toxicity of corporate media and the freedom of non-corporate connection? The freedom from tracking etc? Please show me the way. Something that will get your relatives to leave Facebook maybe?

Look at the mustard on my face… but listen to my words!
Would be really funny if I started telling OP lies just for funsies 😋
They'll probably get here eventually, if they're not here already. Granted it'll be harder for them to control a narrative, but they'll probably try with bots/paid commentors and complicit moderators.
That can still happen, right? Is there something special about the fediverse that prevents those methods from being used to manipulate the user base's opinions?
Ok, never expected to see a meme based on Socrates/Plato. Good job!
ONE OF US ONE OF US
We’re literally here because we chose to leave the other place. Is there something wrong with identifying with the people we identify with? What’s your point exactly?
Such a tree on the beach...
Take a moment and check your spinner.

Funny to see other people here had the same idea as me, and what I wrote months ago coming back in meme format.
We WILL see the sunlight again.
Wow… I read that whole thing— up to the continued in the comments.
There was a comment in this thread about Reddit being about cynicism and the Fediverse being about authenticity (something even sweeter) and I read your mini essay and just loved it and found it whatever that sweeter word is.
What gets me about this thread are the insults from Reddit refugees who don’t understand that the only way to topple Reddit — leave it the ghost town it deserves to be — is to live this optimism and to actually be the honey we thought Reddit once was.
Everything you wrote about Reddit was spot on.
Do you remember at the beginning of the collapse they rushed a reiteration of r/ place? What a joke.
Anyway — I’m happy to join the Fediverse and Lemmy especially. I see it’s decentralized nature, and the fact we can all set up a server, as Lemme meaning: Let Me! Lemmy join. lemme participate. Lemme run an instance.
This is my second reply — it was you who said the touching thing— “To be a Redditor is to be cynical, to be a lemming is to be sincere.”
I spent the last month and more poking around only Mastodon because of the “follower” impression lemming has and have come up with a more palatable association for Lemmy: Let me. Let me be a part of this better internet you envision.
Anyway— thanks for replying to my humble meme in this new platform. I’m still feeling my way into it.
I have to admit that is a cool TV from way back in the day.
