Wait, you can't?
Yeah, it should atleast be mentioned, as i presumed the rule was "no memes in #tech-general "
Gifs are said to be allowed in every channel if ontopic. Memes are not allowed in #tech-general
Also the copypasta thing is weirder
Why allow copypasta?
Yeah, if someone posts "oh, well now it just works" and i post the "IT JUST WORKS, IT JUST WORKS" gif, its ontopic, but is still banned
That is a meme
I presume #urandom is treated more as a spam channel
Spam is allowed in #urandom for no good reason too
Yeah, but so is literally any gif anyone would ever send in any context in one of those channels
Not all gifs are memes. Gifs are just another video format
Emojis are more analogous to gifs in use
Emojis are allowed
But the vast, vast majority of the time, and even then, if gifs are completely banned, it dosent matter if they are ontopic or not
Wait, emojis exclude
right?
I see people use that all the time
This whole meme rule is weird
Does it? If i post "do sudo rm -rf /*
(/j)" then its allowed
Well it wouldn't do any code right?
idk, but still, i dont think
is banned

Still, my original statement stands, i think either a. the general rules should be more clear or b. there should be a warning about banned content in every channel description that it applies to or c. both
rule 1b outright says no off-topic gifs or memes, and the automod message also clarifies that. I don't see why I need to put something as minor as gifs not being allowed in every single channel description.
