Hi Richard - I'm curious what you think the forest is?

I saw some efforts to get people to back up and look at the forest, but the attention was quickly refocused on a specific tree. (BTW, technically speaking, that was a brilliant strategy, whether intended or not.) But efforts to back up and see the forest are wise and ultimately, helpful.
I think a few people were twiggered.

FYI - I moved two of my posts, and joshuabgood's response, over to the "Memes, Prophets, & Trolls" thread where they seemed more appropriate. - DZ

Ironically in the context of this discussion, Legit was founded by disgruntled newcomers to DKCM who took issue with the admins' boundaries of taste in memes. (The specific issue was DKCM's censorship of a meme calling Flat Earthers "retarded.")

The poster's reaction to the deletion of their meme resulted in them being banned from DKCM and, denouncing the DKCM admins as "worse than Eastern bishops," they established Legit as an uncensored meme utopia, with results as you see.

DKCM has no relationship with the spinoff group and does not endorse their work, and the official stance of DKCM admins is that LDKCM is neither legit, dank, kingdom, or Christian.

And when you think about it, what is more Anabaptist than that?

It is all a little confusing. All at the same time as the meme group was changing from a page to a group, or something like that, I got friend requests from people named Dank Christian or something like that, and invites to join things I thought I already was a part of, and I still don't really know what the difference is between the page and the group and whether either of those are public or private. I haven't really bothered to figure it out... just watching mostly and checking out the memez...

Mike, success breeds imposters, and you experienced the results of another more recent one. All who will live godly in Christ will suffer persecution and so on. For the rest of you, ponder Mike's story and count the cost before you join.

Not being hosted on the platform of a multi-billion dollar corporation, like DKCM is, ;) MennoNet doesn't allow the uploading of images. They need to be hosted elsewhere and can then be linked here.
