I would say right after reddit. So many reposts on Lemmy from reddit.

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 54 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Mostly due to repost bots.

Remove em and it becomes better.

Also 4chan shouldn't act like it's all original either. Nowadays they to a large degree copy from Twitter and Reddit.

The meme is also outdated and it shows. Tumblr became its own ecosystem in the last few years thanks to Elons dumb antics on Twitter.

9gag also directly steals from reddit. They run scraping bots specifically to steal popular reddit posts.

[-] Kryten@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

I have seen mention of removing bots. Is there a way to do it for all repost bots? Our only blocking one at a time? Thanks!

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

There is a method to turn off all posts from accounts with the bot flag.

In your user settings:

Uncheck the Show Bot Accounts box, and press Save.

[-] Kryten@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks so much!

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago

I saw my first shill bot on lemmy today (1 day old account posting a gif of a product and then responding to "cool where can I get one" with a purchase link). They deleted the post when I called them out

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There's still so many screenshots of Twitter. And I saw a couple of 9gag watermarks.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

tbf it's mor like a branch from reddit. Lemmy doesn't feed anyone yet

[-] sparky678348@lemm.ee 104 points 11 months ago

This list might have been true 10 years ago

[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I can't even think of a meme that 4chan has~~n't~~ come up with in the past decade (new racial slurs don't count)

Back in 2009 they were the bleeding edge for shitposts though

Edit: am illiterate

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 28 points 11 months ago

All the memes that are hot with Gen Z start on tiktok. They're usually video based so couldn't be on 4chan to begin with

[-] sparky678348@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago

You're absolutely right, 4chan had the sauce back in the day.

Now it's just sad.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

I got into it for a while about ten years ago and at the time a lot of their content was spilling over to other sites and they were equal parts brilliant, stupid, witty, retarded, open and bigoted. They were a source of a lot of internet chatter that got people talking.

Now I go on once in a while to check in on them .... and it feels like they're stuck in the same rut and it's the same group of weirdos trying to restart things that had already been done years ago. They're not new anymore and they just sound like a broken recording playing the same thing over and over again. It was funny the first few times .... now it's just sad and stupid.

[-] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 3 points 11 months ago

My thoughts on 4chan as a breeding ground of a pile of internet culture, the pretty well unrestrained anarchy that defines the place mixed with the ability to post whatever insanity drips out of your head makes for a perfect shit storm.

It's a lot like bacteria in a petri dish, generations of meme evolutions happen in a matter of days until something shows up that's so virulent it infects the rest of the web.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 months ago

Yeah, its just not the same once mootles left

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 16 points 11 months ago

Now there's LinkedIn between Facebook and Instagram

[-] constantokra@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

That's about right for lemmy though isn't it?

[-] Fogle@lemmy.ca 36 points 11 months ago

It's a separate line coming off Reddit

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 18 points 11 months ago

A splash if you will

[-] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 26 points 11 months ago

This was maybe true 7 years ago or so. But I can't name a single meme that has come out of 4chan since Soyjaks went out of fashion (and I honestly think Soyjaks directly killed 4chan's relevance to wider internet culture.)

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

There's oc on most of the platforms listed, but it's all such an incestuous clusterfuck that the order can never truly be determined.

[-] all-knight-party@kbin.run 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but how else am I gonna make a funny meme that makes people go "OMG so true"

No one is in a line feeding one to the other ..... everyone is just in one giant hog pen where we keep picking up shit and flinging it at each other

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 21 points 11 months ago

What's the M one?

[-] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 21 points 11 months ago

Twitter should be above Reddit

[-] frogfruit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

A lot of Tumblr stuff on reddit too

[-] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

At this point we might change the diagram to a circleshit.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

I think it's more like a cess pool and everyone is wallowing around it all thinking their part of the pool is better than anyone else.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

Lemmy sits in the corner, just watching :3

Guy in the corner meme : They don't know I don't even have a steady stream of memes.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

"They don't know I daily post oc on Risa ..."

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

This is wrong because 4chan fucking loves eating shit. We'd rush back down to the bottom and shove the table kid out of the way

[-] Risk@feddit.uk 6 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it should definitely be a circle.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I think it's most of the shit eating is that one guy on /b/

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago

Risa is jacking it into 4 chans mouth. I only post OP stuff

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago

I'll be the one to say it: it's way down the bottom of the chart. I see so many memes from like 1994 that it's almost more like the completion of a shit circle than a straight shit line.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

If you're seeing them here, there was quite a bit here where posting old memes was a thing. It wasn't just then making it to the fediverse, but nostalgia posting.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I hope we do old meme July again next year. That was so much fun.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Not enough recursion, at all.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 5 points 11 months ago

How do you synchronize all this pooping? Is this what NTP is for?

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

I feel discriminated against!

[-] dime@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago
[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I don't know what the three between the two facebooks are.

[-] QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

iFunny, 9gag and I don't know what the M is.
