Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn’t sure if !asklemmy@lemmy.world or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

    I’m not familiar with Star Trek, so I usually don’t get those memes

    the entire “vibe” of Lemmy has changed in the last two weeks.

    The entire USA vibe has changed in the last two weeks, from what we can see on every social media. What happened is an important historical events, it has repercussions on all aspects of USA society

      True, and btw I don’t mean that there is not good/great reasons for such even - people are DYING.

      I was just pushing that thought since we were initially responding to:

      I just wish the top posts on the meme pages were more than just an anti-capitalist caption and a vaguely related image.

      It’s creating an environment where people who can’t handle the cultural shifts (e.g. not everyone is neurotypical) are having to heavily curate their experiences.

        Non Americans already had to curate their experience for weeks before and during the US presidential election

          Not everyone wants that, but excellent point about the fact that some do:-).

          And there, as now, it would be nice to constrain things.

          Though you mentioned the rather powerful counterargument earlier that this was a MAJOR event, and it’s understandable that it’s leaking.
