Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Regarding your last point: With the various engagement-increasing algorithms driving what information you actually see, it can be a challenge to see outside your own bubble. It takes active effort to not just see your own perspective reflected back at you and that's by design.
A lot of people won't engage with content they disagree with and engagement drives ad revenue so it behooves companies that only care about revenue to not challenge a user's beliefs unless it's something extreme enough for the user to engage out of rage and disgust (which is how chuds like Andrew Tate get promoted). It's hard to see the otherside's genuine viewpoint when it's constantly filtered through the lens of your own side (or what the algorithm thinks your side is).
