No, they just don’t have the same principles as us.

Reddit has being shit for a decade, if you have the wrong principles is because you are fine with that

What exactly does that have anything to do with murdering her?

The public is brainwashed to hate and consider less anything that gets labelled by authorities as negative

People who keep using reddit are idiots, simple as that.

It’s called being so effective at marketing and spending so much money on it that people believe you don’t do nothing.

It’s the government, they spend millions of public money in pr, they should have never had a twitter account to begin with and should have used their own tools.

The community, through it’s posting, voting, and reposting, has chosen Memes regardless of whether it’d be better.

So why are people choosing memes over more serious discussions?

encourage others to do so

I’m gonna post a meme to encourage people not to post only memes.

people simply share what they want to share.

So are you saying shitpost and memes is what most people want to share here?

I disagree, most memes have elaborated descriptions longer than the average title

And??

and you are on an asklemmy thread asking why lemmy frontpage is filled with memes…

I asked a simple question and you are bringing in twitter and other stuff.

most memes comes with a caption and a title.

more than half of the most subscribed subs are meme subs.

rather than complaining that people on the Threadiverse as a whole aren’t posting what you want.

All frontpage is filled with memes and shitpost, again are you saying that this is what most people want to see?

If the frontpage wouldn’t be filled with memes it would probably be more easy to find non-meme communities to subscribe to

As for the other part of your question why and how would people be forced to use memes?

To me lemmy frontpage much resemble reddit frontpage where most likely political and serious discussions are censored resulting in memes being more popular and the only tool people have to bring up certain arguments.

The only memes I see are from meme communities

Meme communities predates the frontpage

so are words

Probably because they’re easy to make, so there’s a lot of traffic there.

It’s easier to create a meme than writing a title?

“why does the content I see not reflect what I want to see”

Lemmy all frontpage is filled with memes and shitpost, it’s a fact you can check for yourself. I’m asking why is it filled with this content, are you saying that this is what most people want to see here?

Why are they there in the first place?
