    Reposting is like Einstein’s ideas and perspectives of time … it’s all relative.

    When you see a meme for the first time, it’s not a repost, it’s something entirely new to you … but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.

    As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time … to them it is new … to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost

    Just like time in the universe … time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice … but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone

    Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity

    For me its how quickly people reply to a comment. It used to take hours and now there’s a reply in seconds

    Technically almost everything on here has Ben a repost (from Reddit anyway)

    But that’s how all internet sites go, all the content is stolen from somewhere else lmao

      Isn’t that what a meme is, though? Like, you might change the caption, but a meme is only a meme after it’s been shared more than once.

      Steal like an artist! Isn’t all art stolen in some way or another?

      That said, I hate reposts…but I’m not gonna neg or police anyone for it. I do wish we had a decent system for taming it though. Reddit reposts were out of control.

      It’s actually a positive post, I don’t mind reposts. If we’re getting more reposts, the community’s growing, right?

      I appreciate that your pfp is Space Ghost, it seems fitting for the community you moderate. That’s totally something Space Ghost would feature on his show. He’d at least yell at Moltar or Zorak to pull it up on the screen.

    I’d almost take a repost of an actual meme over another comic strip, twitter screenshot, or plain old picture… This community is already dumpster fire.

          Not a complaint at all, I try not to repost, but I don’t mind reposts and love jokes and memes.

          In fact, in honor of loving reposts, I think you just inspired my next repost post…

            Oh I don’t mind a good repost at all. I do mind that this community is a garbage dump of junk posts.

            Edit: I also think you meant to respond to the post above mine.
