in the context of communities like these that change already happened naturally, thats how language works. its the same as how guy means man in some contexts, even though originally it meant idiot and was in reference to someone named guy who tried to bomb Parliament. language changes, context matters, and there are communities for politics that you can go to to talk politics.
The microblog memes community was awful about that. Posting a political manifesto instead of a meme. Then I got banned because I reported those posts.
Sorry your plan to change the meaning of the word “meme” from “self replicating idea” to “funny picture” didn’t work out

Right, but you’re wrong. The people in charge disagree. Your new definition isn’t what the rules are based on.
yeah, the actual memes that were there were good but I only ever saw politics.
