I think it's time to rediscuss the inclusion of the Memes application in our phabricator instance, This was previously discussed at T99345: Disable memes / image macros in Phabricator.
Some of the issues i'm currently seeing inculde:

- I understand your point, but it seems very likely to me that everyone knows when to (or to not) use them. This is not https://www.reddit.com/r/memes. Is there any proof that the application is currently harmful (i.e. frequently used in the wrong way)?
- Depends on upstream, we can't unfortunately do anything about that I guess.
- If you really think that this is a valid reason to remove the Macro application, then you should change this task to 'disable file uploads' (or open a new task with that subject). This is something that affects all image uploads, it isn't a problem that only affects Macro.

The macro extension is horrible for this reason. We are WIkimedia and should care about "free content" etc., and not a pirate party or something and disregard copyright. If one wants to upload a meme, they can use the normal photo uploads...disable it.

There could also have bugs in our ogg/ogv files, so disabling would sadly an overkill for users who wanna report bugs of em

I don't think there are new arguments on the table (and I'm also a bit torn on this). Thus I'm declining this lingering task with the given status quo.
