Memes - as many bounties on Just About have proven over the years - are an essential aspect of online communities. They rely on shared references that evolve into their own form of language. Our Community Code of Conduct is a guide to help decide whether content or behaviour is welcome on our platform, but what if the content or behaviour draws on cultural references that we simply don’t understand? Or coded language intended to go unnoticed by those outside a certain community (‘dog whistling’)?
This isn’t to suggest memes aren’t allowed; quite the opposite. How can we be open to well-intentioned meme-ing without risking harmful content slipping through the cracks?
