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.

Your daily lemmy experience. Better make sure the only facts you quote are "oild rigs are weather machines", "twitter is now worth 25% of what musk paid for it".
Don't you dare quoting facts like "Trump has only half of the popular vote". You'll be chased and, maybe, banned.
What's divisive about that? Honest question, I'm genuinely oblivious.
He didn't even have half of the popular vote when he got elected. This is recorded historical fact. Clinton received 3m more votes.
Yeah, okay, but how is the statement “Trump has only half of the popular vote” chase and/or banworthy? Who bans you for that, and for what reasoning? Don't get me wrong, I've seen some pretty weird moderation on some instances, just not this particular instance.
Ok, that's a fair question, and I don't have an answer for that one. I've so far successfully avoided this particular landmine.
I haven't heard anything but mockery about the "Democrats control the weather" thing. Are there Lemmy communities that have actual idiots spouting this? Other than the few famous trolls who are basically doing a bit at this point?
I wish this was only on Lemmy. I live this life. I am surrounded by this daily! I am scared in my own country.
is the actual number more or less than that
