Playing devil’s advocate here, I think having a meme depot will not work. Reason being is once a meme is used, it will have a SHA or MD-5 hash attached to them. These hashes are very useful on determining whether a file has been altered even to the slightest degree such as a period added. In other words, it provides integrity that a file has not neen tampered with.

I picked this site as it explains in plain English to the common person who is exactly a Computer Science Major. I didnt add a SHA link because sha and md5 are flavors of the same concept

Why is this a big deal someone might ask? Most likely these memes will be assigned a sha or md5 hash that will be on a already established shadow ban list on the social media servers.

I never reuse any memes and make mine on the fly in PowerPoint where I can use the same pic, but edit the text on the fly to make a new meme therefore changing the sha and/or md5 hashes. If one doesnt have PowerPoint, Paintbrush or whatever the default Apple paintbrush like application would be best to use.

Just my .02 cents on this.

Wouldn’t a meme generator be easier and alter the md5 hash once you’ve added text to it?

Thinking about that, the EU may have certain domains banned due to recent laws.

I suppose that would work, but how would one know if the meme generator isnt owned by the same social media companies one is battling against? Paranoia aside, how often have we run into controlled opposition in the past?

In meme generators being taken down or img hosting sites taken down?
