The meme says it is.

The moon’s dark side is not actually dark though. The moon is always facing earth from the same side. The dark side of three moon refers to the side that’s not visible from earth, not a side that’s always dark.

Yeah, but we can clearly see Earth from that spot, so it can’t be the dark/far side

That’s the far side of the moon, not the dark side. The dark side is the side that isn’t facing the sun, and that’s changing constantly.

  Only if you take it literally. Usually when people refer to the dark side, they mean the far side.
  
  Although the far side does get a lot darker than the near side during lunar nights, since Earthshine never reaches it.
