Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/[email protected] - General memes

If you never interact with a particular Community other than to downvote it, the appropriate response is to block that Community. Browsing from the unfiltered "All" page and downvoting stuff you are literally not in the audience for is just shitty behaviour. Especially on a small platform like Lemmy, a small number of people doing that can have an outsized impact on the people who do want to see that kind of thing.
The memes were bad, I was curating.
You should probably be more concerned about the powermods then, why should one person decide what's appropriate for a dozen different communities? That's actual outsized impact and it actually effects the people who are interested in those communities.
Were you "curating" in a community you hadn't had more positive engagement with previously?
Sometimes. Low quality memes are often evident regardless of familiarity.
