It's just too much

There are dedicated communities for that type of content. What is not there is a sizeable (or any at all) meme community without it.

I'll probably post a screenshot of this later.

Hard agree. Screenshots of text-only social media posts are not 'memes' and have no place in a meme community.

What you say is indisputable but every time I've ever said the same thing, it's weirdly disputed.

I totally see this side, however the last time this came up we did a big community discussion about it in which people discussed their different definitions of a "meme" (many argued it includes shared humorous screenshots, and many argued that memes are limited to image macros), but the majority thought that this kind of stuff was fair game and/or didn't want the added restriction.
