100 sats \ 1 reply \ @johngalt 22 Mar \ on: 🚨 I want YOU to start a MemeChain! Memes
Dude, this MemeChain thing is pretty interesting, but there are some points to think about, right? The idea of organizing memes to avoid that mess in the main feed is cool because, let's be honest, some days the feed is a total mess with just generic and repetitive memes. And if people start creating these specific MemeChains for niches, like "Pokémon MemeChain" or "Cat MemeChain," it could be great for those who like those specific topics and don’t want to be bombarded with random memes.
Good points about the idea:
  1. Less mess in the feed: No one likes opening their feed and seeing a bunch of the same memes or low-quality ones. If everyone puts them in the MemeChain, people who aren’t as into memes can breathe a little and still enjoy the content.
  2. Incentive for more creative memes: The niche idea is a win because it gives space to more personalized and funny memes that probably wouldn’t fit in the main feed. This could be a way for people to show off their creativity and still engage with smaller groups.
  3. Organization: Nothing’s worse than wasting time scrolling through the feed looking for something you actually want to see. The MemeChain could make everything easier and quicker, without so much visual pollution.
On the other hand, there are some issues:
  1. Generic memes being left out: One of the coolest things about the internet is the variety of memes, from the most specific to the super generic. If people focus too much on niche content, the feed might lose that spontaneity and all those light-hearted, random memes. It might get too segmented.
  2. Involuntary exclusion: Imagine people who aren't super into niches or don’t have time to keep creating these chains. They might get left out, and the focus will be only on those in the "bubble," which could lead to a sense of exclusion.
  3. Money involvement: The idea of paying 10 sats to post a meme in the MemeChain does have its cool side, like an incentive, but it could also push away people who aren’t willing to spend just to share something funny. Also, there might be pressure to make more viral and commercial memes just to generate engagement, and then the whole essence of memes being spontaneous kind of goes out the window.
In the end, I think the idea has its value, but it needs balance. Organizing memes is great, but without losing creative freedom and excluding anyone. If the MemeChain is balanced well, it could be a way for people to keep creating without turning everything into a formula. Let’s see if it catches on, right?

Some great points but until subtitles are a thing, I think this is the best way to keep memes out of the main feed while also curating niche-specific place to share and aggregate dank memes.
