Chameleon Channels: Measuring YouTube Accounts Repurposed for Deception and Profit
Online content creators spend significant time and effort building their user base through a long, often arduous process, which requires finding the right ``niche'' to cater to. So, what incentive is there for an established content creator known for cat memes to completely reinvent their page channel and start promoting cryptocurrency services or cover electoral news events? And, if they do, do their existing subscribers not notice? We explore this problem of \textit{repurposed channels}, wher…

MIND: A Multi-agent Framework for Zero-shot Harmful Meme Detection
The rapid expansion of memes on social media has highlighted the urgent need for effective approaches to detect harmful content. However, traditional data-driven approaches struggle to detect new memes due to their evolving nature and the lack of up-to-date annotated data. To address this issue, we propose MIND, a multi-agent framework for zero-shot harmful meme detection that does not rely on annotated data. MIND implements three key strategies: 1) We retrieve similar memes from an unannotated…

Translated quote:
It's a reference to an internet joke that's been circulating for years, originally from a "furry" role-playing, in which people dress up in furry costumes and take on the role of anthropomorphised animals.
The phrase means "Notices a bulge in your crotch," with "OwO" standing for an emoticon meant to express cute surp…

Found a @… repost on #Imgur.

Right, I am now unfollowing people who post memes (or other pictures whose content significantly includes text) without #AltText.
This is not OK.

strategically posting really good memes to improve your account’s federation

I find this map especially amusing in that in 1893, 238 colonists departed Australia (purportedly nonexistent) to found the New Australia colony in Paraguay (ditto).
Of course, Australia didn’t federate till 1901, so it could be argued that Australia didn’t *actually* exist at the time. And given Paraguay’s tremendous (but still hotly contested) losses in the 1864-70 Paraguayan War, the latter country was itself hanging on by a thread.

D-HUMOR: Dark Humor Understanding via Multimodal Open-ended Reasoning
Dark humor in online memes poses unique challenges due to its reliance on implicit, sensitive, and culturally contextual cues. To address the lack of resources and methods for detecting dark humor in multimodal content, we introduce a novel dataset of 4,379 Reddit memes annotated for dark humor, target category (gender, mental health, violence, race, disability, and other), and a three-level intensity rating (mild, moderate, severe). Building on this resource, we propose a reasoning-augmented f…

The best part about my emoji naming system for memes and cat pictures is that it is NOT Windows-friendly at all.

Two retoots in a row on my timeline that are absolutely nothing to do with each other but they read as if they're one of those shot/chaser memes that were common a few years ago.

oh the memes are brutal

Do I process anarchism best through pictures and memes? Absolutely, that’s my brain’s native language!
Can I make sense of anarchist theory in text form? Sometimes, especially if it’s Rudolf Rocker.
Can I actually explain anarchism to other people? Nope, my brain just hits a wall.
Welcome to the wonderfully autistic way my mind works!

Malicious earworms and useful memes, how the far-right surfs on TikTok audio trends
With its features of remix, TikTok is the designated platform for meme-making and dissemination. Creative combinations of video, emoji, and filters allow for an endless stream of memes and trends animated by sound. The platform has focused its moderation on upholding physical safety, hence investing in the detection of harmful challenges. In response to the DSA, TikTok implemented opt-outs for personalized feeds and features allowing users to report illegal content. At the same time, the platfo…

AdamMeme: Adaptively Probe the Reasoning Capacity of Multimodal Large Language Models on Harmfulness
The proliferation of multimodal memes in the social media era demands that multimodal Large Language Models (mLLMs) effectively understand meme harmfulness. Existing benchmarks for assessing mLLMs on harmful meme understanding rely on accuracy-based, model-agnostic evaluations using static datasets. These benchmarks are limited in their ability to provide up-to-date and thorough assessments, as online memes evolve dynamically. To address this, we propose AdamMeme, a flexible, agent-based evalua…

Rainbow Noise: Stress-Testing Multimodal Harmful-Meme Detectors on LGBTQ Content
Hateful memes aimed at LGBTQ\,+ communities often evade detection by tweaking either the caption, the image, or both. We build the first robustness benchmark for this setting, pairing four realistic caption attacks with three canonical image corruptions and testing all combinations on the PrideMM dataset. Two state-of-the-art detectors, MemeCLIP and MemeBLIP2, serve as case studies, and we introduce a lightweight \textbf{Text Denoising Adapter (TDA)} to enhance the latter's resilience. Across t…
