    I must not try to change the morons.

    Changing the morons is the time-killer.

    Changing the morons is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

    I will face the stupidity of the morons.

    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

    And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

    Where the morons have gone there will be nothing.

    Only I will remain.

    It happened when a bunch of assholes figured out that they can post their agenda/political opinion/propaganda over a random image and it’s instantly a meme capable of qualifying in any meme comm/sub.

    It’s obnoxious.

    Nobody’s making you click on it?

    I don’t exactly care for it either, but why spend time policing other people’s behavior instead of curating your feed so you don’t see it?

    Or, just ignore it even if you see it. I don’t know, but talk about first world problem.

      Yeah why do similar topics keep popping up. Block users/communities who post content you do not care for, shut up about having done it, win the Internet.

      Yup. I asked them why this happens, which app is making these annoyingly large empty spaces around the content when sharing as an image.

      … They said… “I like my images to be square.”

      🫩 Apparently they’re doing it on purpose.
