The 'Please Keep Memes out of #general' meme satirizes the rigid and often pedantic behavior of Discord server moderators who prioritize channel organization over casual fun. The trope stems from the common server rule where 'general' channels are reserved for discussion only, leading mods to quickly delete media and direct users to specific meme channels. This behavior has been caricatured through various templates, often depicting mods with an inflated sense of authority or using 'Giga-Mod' reaction images. The meme is a staple in gaming and tech communities, serving as a relatable critique of internet bureaucracy and the power dynamics found within online communities.
