I think Rose hits this point pretty good:

It’s not that social media is fundamentally evil or bereft of any good qualities. Some of my best post-Twitter moments have been spent goofing around with mutuals on Bluesky, or waxing romantic about the joys of human creativity and art-making in an increasingly AI-infested world. But when it comes to addressing the problems we face, no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing.

so keep doing it to have fun if it's what you do for fun! just don't make the mistake of thinking it is a substitute for direct action. Personally, I think good political memes might be one of the few things we can actually do online to change minds. a funny meme that also makes a good point will probably reach way more people than a well-written article that makes the same point!
