Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
Did you just say tolerance is bad, then go on to to describe tolerance as the solution?
An idea does not have to be absolute with no exceptions to have value.
Nah. I said what I said. You're just looking for an easy out so you and the other fascists can feel like they've won something, and you won't. You shall have no victory here.
Huh? Why would think I'm a fascist? Can you explain? Not a single one of my positions or comments is based on hate, oppression, or intolerance (except of the intolerant of course), not to mention I'm trans lol.
Or are you using some idiot's defiintion of fascism?
They think people are responding to the substance of their comment, rather than understanding that people aren't quite sure what the comment is supposed to mean.
I think the issue folks have is that your comment was confusing, as in they didn't understand your point. Then in response to people commenting that they didn't understand WTF you were talking about, you lashed out and had a solitary Les Miserables moment where you stood on top of a barricade of confusion, waving your flag and shouting "FASCISTS SHALL HAVE NO VICTORY HERE." I still don't know WTF you are talking about. Take a few calming breaths, friend. If you write like Edward Albee, at least have the self-awareness that you write like Edward Albee, rather than demanding everyone have a working knowledge of the Theatre of the Absurd. EDIT: Any downvoters want to explain why they downvoted me? If the confusing person's perspective is readily apparent to anyone, why not add to the discourse? I'm not trying to fight. EDIT2: This person is so hot headed and hostile, that I have a sneaking suspicion that they created dummy accounts to downvote me and support the perspective that their point is crystal clear to anyone with half a brain. Can anyone explain this person's point? Bonus points if you might understand why they're so angry?
Or maybe, just maybe, the people around you are not idiots and you can't just feign ignorance to help your little Nazi buddies commit genocide.
Most everyone else seems to know what I am talking about. They understand what you mean by tolerance is acceptance of every idea no matter how stupid or dangerous and that's not how life works. You're just hoping you can lie big and loud enough to convince others that "Hey, this guy is so insistent what this other guy has to say is confusing, so it must be true" without considering you're on Lemmy where the average IQ is higher than freaking potato.
Jesus Christ, you're such an embarrassment to the human race. π€¦
Dude, you are seriously hostile, and clearly think I am your enemy. I read your comment, and I didn't know how to parse it or what your point is. I don't know what you think I am lying about. No one's reaction to you convinced me of anything. I still don't know what half of your point is, nor do I know who you are calling "Nazis" or what genocide you are talking about. I am glad that there are people on here that understand what you are talking about - it feels good to be understood. Perhaps you could assume less. I am not about to pedantically instruct you how to write more clearly, but being mindful of your emotional state might help.
