Federated content aggregators haven’t really reached a critical mass of users (yet).
Give it time and there’ll be the insensible, the attempts at humour and all manner of low-effort comments headed this way.
Also, this being a memes magazine, I’d expect this place to get them a little sooner than more serious places. Or at least they might be tolerated a little more.
A little low-effort commentary might even be beneficial. And if not, well there’s always the “reduce” arrow.
(Between the lines: It would be nice to be able to try to be funny occasionally, bad idea / bad jokes or not.)
I don’t think it’s all that egregious on joke communities, it was mostly really frustrating when comments—especially top level ones!!—were jokes/memes on serious discussion topics or something that just needed an answer.
Also replying to @palordrolap. Why not encouraging users to create constructive discussions through the magazine/community rules? I mean, every magazine/community needs a set of rules, some can be more strict and some can be more relaxed.
