- 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).

Can somebody reupload the image at a non-feddit.org host? Feddit is incredibly annoying in that it geoblocks most of Asia.
sure!

I complete disagree with the comic.
I may satirize it l8r.
Thanks!
Yo! It's later already. I demand satire.
decided brutal honesty deserved a retrospective.
seems folks forgot fascists are nothing without their resources.
do they really?? Thats hilarious
Why hilarious?
These people are living caricatures of the reddit shitlib, I see no reason for them to geoblock asia other than them actually believing there are russian bots infiltrating lemmy
No need to go into conspiracy theories. I already explained why they're doing it, and I understand it even if I disagree strongly with their decision.
Ok, can you link the explanation?
Oh right, it's a different post, my bad.

Thanks!
Well apparently asia is the source of a lot of scraping traffic, and they're an European focused website, so they went with the nuclear option of blocking the entire continent and change. Never mind that as one of the bigger instances on the Threadiverse, they're degrading the user experience for an entire continent. I brought the issue up to them previously, but they didn't seem too concerned about it.
Example of degraded user experience for Asia:
Ah thanks, that's pretty moronic but not (or at least not blatantly) racist
It's a little racist. I sense strong "who cares about whether those non-europeans can see our content?" vibes.
Fair, especially when federating content.
