No. R/gaming was a clownshow of the same low effort garbage posts. Have a day of the week or push it to another sub.
I'd rather this sub be more like r/games than r/gaming. News and discussion.
It's better to have a separate ~~subreddit~~ community for memes. Allowing memes will results in this being the only content here.
So with a little under 3 hours to go it looks like the community has done the right thing and picked no memes at all (by around 120 votes as it currently stands).
Now let's see about blocking photo posts and other low-effort garbage, too, while we're at it.
It's pretty clear from the vote and the comments that we want this to be the equivalent of /r/games - text posts and links only. If someone needs to show off their hall effect stick mod or a photo of some dude flipping the bird, they can do it in a hardware-dedicated or circlejerk community where that kind of thing belongs (respectively).
No memes, allowing memes usually ends up in it being the only thing posted instead of discussions.
Plus once you open up that door, it's hard to close it.
no thank you, Reddit already became bloated to hell and back via memes being allowed on a lot of forums, let's keep it sanitized and have another community for that.
Either no memes (rather a separate community for that) or something like memes only allowed on one specific day of the week.
No memes here, please. I actually enjoy them but we can have a separate option elsewhere on lemmy for that.
Absolutely not. Games on Reddit was a serious news and discussion forum. That's what I'd like to see here. Meme communities can name themselves just that, but this is c/Games, not c/Gaming or c/GameMemes
No, I'd rather have a separate community for game memes (which I myself might also join) and keep things clean here.
Old Reddit user turned Lemmy here. Memes are fun and all, but they also get out of hand very quickly and we're stuck with a sub with low-effort memes instead of actual discussion/news. Once a month meme day could work though.
