@silverwizard my use of the fediverse is the extent of my social media experience, so I'm not familiar with what you're referring to.
I remember people being up in arms about big name comedians in the early oughts stealing much of their material from unknown comics, and I (as a kid) was one of those.
I still somewhat stand by that, mostly because of the imbalance of power, but most of stand-up comedy is in the delivery.
Is this joke theft about memes?
