As the OP, I appreciate not being blocked. I'm definitely not trying to freeboot or anything. My main goal with my entire account is to just boost the engagement on Lemmy in general and pizzacake is a creator a lot of people enjoy despite the comics being fine (generally the easiest option with every punchline).

More people using Lemmy consistently means we're more likely to grow as a platform which will in turn improve other areas and so on and so forth. Especially with this being an open source project, more users means more people willing/able to help on the codebase itself so the entire platform improves as a result.

Ultimately I agree with you that her joining herself would be better because you can just block her and be done with it. Her popularity would also probably bring engagement and yada yada as previously said.

Realistically I'll probably just not post her comics in the future since I hadn't heard about the annoying critic bashing stuff she did and I don't care enough about her work to try and hold on past annoying stuff.
