In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 03/03/2024 Vol.488, Q Day 2318, KittenClaws wrote:

Over time, this issue has surfaced in my inbox and with the most recent comment, I think it's time to just resolve it. It is fair to ask that all extended posts of 'toon collections be linked instead. They're appreciated by many, and linking them keeps them accessible with minimal intrusion.

It's not that memes here and there are off topic. I can't imagine finding someone who WANTS to rule on 'proper subject matter' (ain't nobody got time for that!). No one would agree with such sorting, and advocating for 'nipple piercing with darts' or 'naked gardening' . . . .

————.

I agree, some memes are just not appropriate. Those mentioning naked people and nipples can be offensive. Personally, Ive found quite a few memes to be offensive to my sensibilities, but I certainly don’t complain about it…some might find them OK. And most are otherwise enjoyable.

But…

Good meme. :D

The comment I received today was not that naked people and nipples were offensive, but instead pointed to the distraction level encountered when a single extended-length post provides content unrelated to itself as well as the thread (long variegated collections taken from other websites without curation).

Sometimes I get carried away and try to address multple topics on my mind in one analytical post (one umbrella over too many discordant ideas) and it can provoke distraction and reader fatigue. Add in off-topic content to a multi-pronged post like that and it can really distract. That's my interpretation of the sum of comments that have trickled in over time in addition to my own encounters with large meme collection posts. Usually I 'wait out' such comments to see if they resolve themselves, but this issue has been quietly consistent over time and supports my own impressions.

I think in the past, I've done small meme collection posts that struck me the same way; I was trying to save time but if they don't cohere in some way it can really distract and I ended up not liking my post(s).

Typing the last few lines takes me back to a video presentation by a 12 year old girl in which she discussed in amazing detail, with epiphany provoking examples, how a reader would interpret a published page differently, based on the format and variety of content offered. Good times. Good times.

I know you do your best to address the issues that arise on the Q thread.

I enjoy browsing all the memes posted on this thread and appreciate those who post them. One thing I do not do is follow links because it does not always work out for me and I get disappointed.

I content myself with those that are posted on this thread. I see that I am one of very few who actually enjoy the posts that feature a gaggle of memes. I guess I was coming from the selfish viewpoint that what has been suggested would lessen my own enjoyment.

Your hard work and “ cat wrangling “ is very much appreciated.

PS. Thanks for liking my meme😊

I think ‘in all fairness’ it would be fair to ask that extended posts of ‘toons be linked the way bitt links them. If more peeps downloaded full scrolls of ‘toons at will, the distraction level would be conspicuous to more FReeQs ‘n FReepers.

<> in the whole scheme of things on this thread, how much band width are generally’s memes burning thru?
<> what percentage of the Q thread is clogged up by generally’s meme strings?
<> not every memer has a website dedicated to memes to link to like pookie
<> imo, there are some hard working brilliant people working hard to dig up & post memes on this thread (helps with my time management)
<> easy access to the memes that are directly posted to the thread are easy to steal & share (red pill others that have never heard of FR)
<> should all memers like foldspace; melian; farce sensitive; bitt; generally ;little jeremiah; sobieski and easy street be forced to link up the memes they come up with?
<> should all the cat poster’s memes be linked up too?
<> 7 years ago, was this thread designed to just set around & try to decode Q posts?

Actually, imo having all the changes of pace keeps the thread fresh & more interesting to me

Can’t we just all get along?
