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
- GPrime85
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)

making the left distrust or be uninterested about voting is a far right psy ops to literally make their opponents not vote.
making the left distrust guns is far right psy ops to literally make their opponents vote on bourgeoisie parties instead of taking the means of production
The left don't distrust guns, liberals do. They are centrists.
Go far enough left, you get your guns back.
The left are fine thanks, I'm pretty sure you mean liberals?
Liberals are a powerful voting bloc.
Leftists spend so much time fighting with each other that they decide whoever is running isn't left enough and decide not to vote.
Ok that's fine, it doesn't make liberals leftist though
But that's mostly because liberals aren't a useless voting bloc.
No it's mostly because liberalism and leftism are completely at odds with one and other about their ideals and how they would like to see society function.
Don't let that stop you from continuing to be proudly a d willfully ignorant though.
Leftists say they hate conservativess and liberals but they hate other leftists more.
murrican detected
Do you see how after my name it says "@piefed.ca"
isn't Canada a multi party system?
Left or right politics forcing voters to choose between two sides and ultimately become single issue voters is a deep state psy op to literally make everyone hate politics and allow oligarchical control.
murrican democratic systemic skill issue.
Murrican democracy id actually quite a crap example of democracy
So your answer is to let them win on voting instead of fighting on every front available to you?
Nope. I voted. Iβm just being realistic about the psy op; My vote even for shit candidates in a non representative first past the post system serves as part of my protest.
Okay but the two-party FPTP system is a separate issue that we can't immediately fix right now. The immediate issue that's right in front of us today is whether we put up road blocks to resist fascism, or whether we tear out the few road blocks that are left.
So for someone to sit on the sidelines and say "it doesn't matter either way because I disagree with the binary nature of the dichotomy on a matter of principle" is simply asinine.
Psy Op worked. Show me on the dotted line where the Democratic Party has acknowledged tackling and replacing the first past the post system in a serious manner? I still vote, because yes what else is there to do, but thatβs the beauty of the psy op. You feel like youβre participating, but itβs just a show :)
