It makes me furious to see all those "joke/meme" reposts here. For the first time I went through one user's profile and downvoted almost every post he made, because everything was just a repost of a meme. And those people get ++'s so damn quickly. What is happening to this community?

I should just stop using sorting by recent...

The issue isn't just reposting, it's also the people who even ++ that. This has ruined the memes category, and these people don't even understand the issue and say "eh calm down man".

In short, the community self-cleaning simply doesn't work as intended @dfox .

I'm kinda surprised. More often than not, rants like that are ridiculed. It's nice to see people sharing my opinion.

Enabled joke/meme for one minute to check the current situation.

Instantly saw four bro memes.

Disabled joke/meme category.

I didn't really want to disable whole category since there CAN be something really funny and unique.

You can hide posts voted as „repost“ -> Settings. Maybe this helps a bit

There are three kinds of ranters:

- Ranters
- Memers
- Ranters who rant about memers

The platform has shifted guys, and clearly this is a site that is less about rant and more about dev in general, including reposted memes which are popular regardless of how you feel about them.

Rants are also still a significant part of the content, but you cant expect to see only rants unless you actually filter and downvote uncategorized.

@SauceBoss I was waiting for someone like you to post xD

@SauceBoss mistags, though 😋
