      That’s my thinking as well. A long time o ago in reddit, people were always claiming things were reposts, but it was new to me.

        It would be nice if there would be attribution for reposts. Maybe subreddits and such could do weekly / monthly / annual / all-time highlights? Feel like I need to say that I hate FB and deleted mine, BUT the “memories” thing could be interesting in a place like Reddit or Lemmy.

          What if I saw it elsewhere and posted it? I wouldn’t know it was a repost. And I expect that is what is mostly happening.

            It actually doesn’t really bother me, especially with memes and random internet content like that. I’ve seen posts on Reddit that were actual art, where the title of the repost implies the poster created the art and that it’s not a repost. It’s lame for a few reasons, such as commenters trying to engage with the alleged creator and the OP not replying, then people finding out it’s a repost, etc. But, honestly, whatever.

    Wow, awesome, like we haven’t already seen this post 15 times in the last 2 weeks. Nice low effort repost, “OP”!

    I’m an original meme purist. I wish id never seen any filthy reposted meme even if I hadn’t seen it before. I only want Virgin memes, straight from the source

    It’s like the terminally online equate their filling out a meme template to sculpting a Michaelangelo.

    Ah, yes. The Repost Police. A group of individuals out to inform everyone that they’re proud of spending far too much time on socials, even though no one cares to know.

    imagine someone being so self centered that they think everyone has seen every meme theyve seen.
