I respectfully ask you to not post jokes and memes on HN. This isn’t reddit.

  Long time HN guy. I agree. But the post title generated it.

  /r/gatekeeping from the 900 karma 7 month old account? Why don't you leave it to the mods?

  I respectfully disagree with this sentiment. Light-hearted jokes should be welcomed. A joke adds humor to the discussion for some, and that is a valuable contribution. As valuable as technical, political or sociological insight in many cases. Hacker News experiences nowhere near a volume of spammy meme sharing that would merit rebuking joke comments, enforcing a policy discouraging them, or even downvoting them out of view.

  What does that matter? It's still the internet...
