I know they post a lot of memes, and they might not be to everyone's tastes, but I feel like some people's reactions to PugJesus have been quite horrible really, and I expect better of this community.
And I am not meaning the other post requesting they post less, rather, I mean the comments I have seen left by various people saying some rather mean things about PugJesus.
PugJesus, thank you for providing us with memes, and content, and don't let the haters get to you.
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I think it's more that people don't want micro celebrities like Reddit had even though it's kinda unavoidable
That may be so, but it's no excuse for treating them horribly.
I feel like Reddit had two kinds of celebrities, though:
People like dipshit-the-turtle who made themselves famous by being everywhere whether you wanted them or not
And
People like Schnoodle who literally everybody was happy to see whenever they showed up.
Honestly I think PugJesus is more on the latter end. He's not doing anything egregious, he's just posting a shitload of memes to entertain us and make the fediverse funnier. Even if not every meme lands, we can afford to recognize the contribution.
Please don't worry, once my favorites folders run dry my posting in this mag will be much rarer. I just want to share the 'best of' I've seen over the years to give the place a little life while people find the communities they want to be active in.
I wasn't trying to say anything about you personally đ I just play devil's advocate haters gonna hate regardless
Other people should post more then, to be frank.
I've seen this specific account around enough I recognize the name, just from how much they post all across Lemmy. Same with a few other accounts. Hell, I'm trying to prop up a community or two myself with daily posts. We all gotta try to post, as much as we can without being spam, to keep the Lemmy network alive.
