    I will continue calling out the political soapboxing here for as long as I either get banned or they change the name of the community.

      Technically what you did is say this wasn’t a meme. It wasn’t until here you mentioned why you’re upset about it not being a meme, and now you are very reasonably being downvoted straight to hell where you belong.

      You literally can’t change the name of a community.

      People used to say this about subreddits too.

      It’s a silly thing to say. Communities and subreddits aren’t files you can rename on a whim.

        Then perhaps we should just make a community for screenshots of political twitter posts and keep the meme communities for memes.

              Soapboxing until the impossible happens is literally what you said you were going to waste your time on:

              I will continue calling out the political soapboxing here for as long as I either get banned or they change the name of the community.

              You apparently have a poor memory.

                I wasn’t arguing against you. I said I waste my time on pettier things than that so fighting against the windmill on an issue like this is nothing out of the ordinary for me.

                  Weird, because this is what your bio says:

                  My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

                  This doesn’t sound like seeking truth to me, much more like scoring points.
