The good thing is that you can choose to ignore the meme, reply to the interesting thought and continue the conversation. Then if you keep the conversation going, it could be made a thread if people are interested in it.
Also a honeypot for memes is helpful so people are less inclined to drop them in general channels
Meme images use more vertical scroll space than text. If just a few people repost the same “neutral expression cat” image every so often, it pushes away genuine questions very frequently.
People tend to ignore dedicated-channel rules as well.
So just scroll up? It’s not like when a message is off the screen, it’s gone forever. Or do you never catch up on messages that you missed while offline and just go in from there?

OK - now how do I forcibly inject that thought into the minds of the dozens of other people browsing Discord?
