Is there a meme community on the fediverse that is active and bans screenshots of text?
No. I tried to bring that forward here, but simply speaking, not enough people actually care.
Hey mate you can always create your own community or full on instance if you want to. That’s kinda the point of the fediverse
Great and then I have an empty community.
There would be at least the other commenter that started this thread.
Out of curiosity, why would this be more appealing?
Because text only screenshots from other platforms are just annoying and not memes.
Agree on that text only screenshots are often less funny but isn't that issue solved by downvotes?
No, apparently not. I don't know why, but I think many people don't care much about this. They see a post they mildly find funny, upvote, move on. At the same time, comments that voice annoyance get the normal amounts of upvotes, maybe slightly more downvotes but are still significantly in the positives.
Because it's mostly boring soapboxing, rather than funny pikchor.
The OP's screenshot, for instance, is a shit attempt at a joke that is only popular because it's saying "AI bad".
Fair point, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Now suck on that for a while.
Oh right, so literally any image that gets copied belongs here? That's what you believe? You'd be happy if I just screenshot my desktop showing nothing and posted it here?
We all know the original definition. We all know that's not what it means now.
Lmao. Go ahead.
That's me on the right screen btw.
Oh so you do know what a meme is. Get in the fucking sea.
That's what your mom said.
Wait, she didn't.
She said, 'get in the fucking c'.
No.
I know what memes are.
That's you.
