gollark: The whole "trust us it will be enforced sanely even though we won't explain ~~why~~ how" thing, centralizing meme picking power...
gollark: I agree. To some extent. Ish.
gollark: Firm discords *did* presumably ping people with memes people in the firm liked, or you wouldn't be banning that...
gollark: Eh, I feel like the MemeEconomy way encourages you to invest sooner, at least.
gollark: Anyway, what I was going to say: with the firms' discords or groups or whatever the meme-picking process is somewhat decentralized. With the rule, you're seemingly trying to bring that all *here*, centralized, and the rule enforcement seems as if it could lead to problems too.
