I’m glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?

    I believe it started out as a joke to post ancient memes. And then it just took off and people kept posting them.

    That and like most other people said: on average there are older people here, so they relate to the memes of yore.

      Yeah, I might be to blame for some of that shit. I started !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world a few months ago, then it blew up and started covering c/all, then it spread like herpes to the other meme communities.

      Shit has died way down since that one weird week.

      Old memes remind me of when I had the normal amount of sad and existential dread.
