Sounds about right. I reposted an old meme about a KFC family bucket and ended up with an inbox full of screeees about animal abuse.

At the same time, it's a joke you posted and a bunch of people got butthurt about it. They're within their own rights to express themselves about something they don't agree with, but you are also within your own right to post what you want, within reason (I believe hate speech is out of bounds on Lemmy, but I'm not sure what else is).

If the timing didn't work out, don't regret it. Adapt. Post when hopefully the same people that you jive with will get the joke. Then it might blow over later. If you post it in the memes community, it shouldn't turn into a big deal. We do this for laughs and for fun.
