    If someone doesn’t like it, that’s fine. Just really weird behavior to try and correct a meme. Like… I don’t get it. Just feels like some narcissistic “Well I didn’t like it, no one else is allowed to either” type bullshit. This type of behavior is also insanely common across Lemmy. Most of my meme posts have people doing this shit. I had to put a reminder on one of my posts a while ago to remind people that it was a meme because they were getting so bitter in the comments.

      I believe there is a high percentage of autistic/neurodivergent people on lemmy… I’ve noticed a lot of awkward comments too.

        I mean… not sure there’s a correlation there. Also just slightly offensive. Plenty of neurotypical people who are just as arrogant and self absorbed. Being on the spectrum has absolutely nothing to do with it.

          I didn’t mean any offense, I apologize. What’s interesting is that you interpreted it as arrogant, where I saw it as lack of social awareness… nitpicking a meme and “thinking out loud” comes across as awkward to me, personally.

      As I stated I wasn’t correcting the meme. Nor criticing it in anyway.
