I mean I think most people would agree that a meme template is necessary for something to be a meme. Microblog "memes" that are just a funny post on Twitter or Mastodon are fundamentally a different thing.
You'd be surprised at the amount of people here on Lemmy who insist that Twitter screenshots fully classify as memes and that they belong here... or maybe it was a different memes comm on another instance when I involved myself in a massive fight about it.
You are right. I don’t want to read X posts on my brainrot meme feed.
