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.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
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
Now I understand where you're coming from. You freaked out at me because I and a couple other folks didn't have the brain power to work out your point in another thread on this post. Your freakout was bugging me, so I finally thought to look at your other posts. My only issue is that you jump right to an attack like people are supposed to know your background by either completely reading every single thread on a post so they see your comments, or having read your comment history to inform their understanding of where you're coming from. I couldn't tell if you were a white power nutzo or an ally. Jesus Christ on a stick, you were fighting with me and I FUCKING AGREE WITH YOU, just not your ATT%TACK ATTTACK ATCKCKCOAKI
Sounds like someone's butthurt they lost an argument, fished through my post history to find a cheap gotcha moment, and decided to exploit my own personal history dealing with racism in order to secure a victory on the internet. You know, the one you couldn't get before because you couldn't comprehend that tolerance doesn't mean what you think it means and isn't actually a good thing.
Oh, and if your slimy behavior here doesn't make it obvious you're just some dipshit centrist who pretends to be an ally while defending racist Nazis, I don't know what will.
You'd have to dig yourself an underground bunker and shoot yourself for another blow that low.
WAAAH THE MEANIE ANTI-RACIST DIDN'T ASK ME NICELY TO STOP BEING A BIGOT! WAAAAAH
You need to grow up.
You have a moral responsibility to listen to what another person says to you and not how they say it; at least this is what you say to me every time I openly talk about the rampant emotional and other kinds of abuses I suffered at the hands of Nazi bigots like yourself over the years.
And next, you'll blame me for your refusal to check your own comprehension skills, accept facts or to do what you're supposed to be doing, because of course I, the Black person have to cater to your every whim and whimsy and you have no agency of your own -- your refusal to stomach me and do what's right is 100% my fault because I didn't beg you. But when I complain, I am the one overreacting and being emotional.
That's the kind of shit narcissists pull. And a lot of white boomers are narcissists.
Your attitude where your feelings matter, but mine don't will get you nowhere in life. LPT: no one cares about either of us's feelings, and they really shouldn't have to in the face of facts.
I didn't know you were black until I saw your comment where you discussed it. All I saw originally was a confusing comment about tolerance that I couldn't parse. You assumed that I asked you to clarify BECAUSE YOU ARE BLACK, like I can tell you are black by your fucking text. Rage on, friend. Rage on.
I asked for clarification because I wanted to understand your point. But fine, I'm a racist nazi liar who should kill myself in a bunker. You act like people asking for clarification and having no knowledge of your skin color is the same as someone saying to a black person, "oh, you're so well spoken." You're right, asking for clarification is RACIST, and you are going to save the world by raging at people instead of being understood.
Oh look, it's the first bit of honesty we've seen in you all day.
You can keep lying and pretending you have a reading comprehension problem while simultaneously exploiting subtleties in my own account of my life to try to win an argument -- which requires the comprehension skills you're trying to lie and say you don't have -- or you can just admit you're wrong and move on with your life. It's up to you. I personally enjoy watching racist piggies squeal with the same rage you condemn me for. π
And you're boiling fucking mad right now.
Ahh, the smell of emotional blackmail in the air. It's smoky and woody with a hint of grass. Smells almost like a cross burning in someone's front yard.
Actually, when I took the time to look at other comments you made in the ~~thread~~ post, I found your biographical comment absolutely enlightening, and not at all confusing. Unlike your tolerance comment, where I couldn't tell where you were coming from, but wanted to understand. I wasn't sure if you were making an alt-right argument or a leftist comment or whatever. You went straight to throwing insults at people assuming they wanted to argue with you rather than understand what point you were trying to make - that is what prompted me to make my Les Miserables comment. I probably should not have played the same rage game you are playing, but I can only be called a nazi and told to kill myself so many times before I start serving back.
I have zero interest in doxxing you, I am sorry that it happened to you before. I also don't find your insults to be jokes. "People like me" - you don't know me at all.
