I blocked most of the lemmy.world meme communities for misogyny already. Not really sure what it is about memes that attracts bigotry, but it’s pretty consistent. Really niche communities like Linux memes or meme communities on balhaj zone have been a way better experience so far.

@EmilieEasie @Abyssian "Not sure what it is about memes..." Reductionism, I think. Superficiality. Sloganeering in place of critical thinking. Appeal to emotion rather than reason. No?

The bigots are illiterate and congregate around the most basic forms of communication.

I think that’s a sound theory!
