I encountered the “No meme” that I mentioned on Twitch (twitch.tv). Over there, “No meme” is similar to “No joke” and “memeing” is similar to “joking” except that there is an overarching theme/meme that is being referred to as part of the joke in question. Sorry, I should I have been more clear. |

But now that you have clarified your intended description of your twitch.tv banter encounter - it makes sense. "No meme" is a synonym for "no joke". Joking exists as an informal method of addressing (challenging?) a certain idea, and laughter reporting (lol, rofl, lmao, etc) confirms reception. Twitch seems to be a social arena for leisure, where workers exchange ideas and bond after-hours over a shared virtual experience with allotted "free" time (virtual/comfortable, therefore abundance of "joking" because nothing is at stake). But when a user desires to "get down to business" and submit concepts to the local chat space because her/his mind has been prompted to consider more pressing issues, then the surrogate-preface-phrase "no meme" can be applied in order to summon the "real world" empathy of connected compatriots also confined to the same virtual space.
