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)

MODERATORS
I'm not going through your post history to find more but you do have a history of talking down to others and treating the rest of the nation like it's owed this when it could just be a travesty for a lot of people who also didn't want this to happen. It doesn't comfort everyone to relinquish control and you just recently told someone else the time to do anything was in November and your apology was, lacking an apology. It's very self defeating, and worse it's socially accepting defeat for the rest of us.
Also, wow. Honestly don't come at me while talking yourself down like that. It's miserable and not in a way that inspires empathy either. Your standards may be way to high. I've had people tell me I'm the kindest person ever and they look up to me for bringing over fresh baked bread and some veggies from the garden. Nothing done is worthless especially if it's done with others in mind.
You have your own issues that I don't want to be dragged into, and it's clear that continuing will either make me complicit in making your mood worse or worse be a beacon for it and there is so little than can be done over the Internet for either.
Go find a cool stick and give it a swing. Maybe give someone a hug too.
First of all, I very clearly said "feel free to try" there, meaning that I said the opposite of what you claimed.
Secondly, if you're going to talk to a worthless piece of shit like me, expect to hear worthless things said.
Thirdly, who would want to hug me? Who would want me to touch them? My daughter is gong to end up in a camp because I failed and my wife will end up in prison because I failed and you think someone would want to touch me?
Please bring this enrgy to someone other than me. It's not that I am not sympathetic but I will not respond the ways you are looking for. I simply don't have the emotional connection to provide either spectrum of a response.
You responded to them pointing out it was rude by saying, that you said, they could try too. And then that they likely would fail, immediately after.
It's mean. It's manipulative and it's degrading to others. If you are doing that to yourself at least don't do it to others. Unfortunately even when the world is rough and the inside of our heads hate us we are still responsible for what we do and say.
Even this.
I didn't ask you for sympathy, nor do I deserve sympathy, but just because I think something won't work doesn't mean no one should try because what I think is almost always wrong.
And I'm sure I am manipulative and degrading to others. One of the billion ways I'm a colossal fuckup.
And a fuckup who is responsible for someone's life and is going to destroy that life by being a fuckup.
And if you don't want me to "bring this energy" to you, no one is forcing you to keep replying. I never asked you to respond to me in the first place.
Just pretend I'm already dead like I will be when I inevitably fuck up and she goes into a camp and it will be my fault and I won't be able to live with it. I'm barely able to live with myself now. Hence the suicide attempts.
Not sure why people still bother talking to me once they realize I'm a worthless sack of shit.
For your edit.
And stop this mope as a defense response to not being "perfect". Just move on then. Nobody else is perfect and we don't all throw in on life because of it. It's like you aren't even trying to learn from your mistakes and get better.
Even if others are sacks of shit they don't off themselves either and we have to keep dealing with them whether they are attempting to get better or not cause they don't go anywhere.
If you think you are a good person and someone disagrees you don't just burn the city down to prove you were never good. It's fucking pathetic and apathetic, you try to figure out how to be better.
It's not a defense, it's a fact.
And others who are sacks of shit aren't going to end up putting their daughter in a conversion camp.
One of the many things about me you are wrong about because you don't know me.
Why do you even give a fuck?
I give fucks, unfortunately, about everyone, yourself included. That's my stupidity.
You made a hail Mary of a decision and now you think it's failing but you have already decided an outcome that isn't anywhere close to reality. None of the things you worry about have yet to come to pass. Come up for air sometime but I won't respond like this cause you need to be the one to come up.
And also I have a personal vendetta against suicide. It is apparently not very effective and really rather painful.
You give so much of a fuck that you've insulted me in almost every comment.
Yet.
Oh look, another thing you know nothing about in regards to me. I am literally in constant pain. On the 1-10 pain scale, I am rarely below a 3. I reach 10 at least once a month.
Either stop pretending to give a shit about me or stop pretending you know who I am.
Then get off the fucking Internet and focus on your family you dingus. Limit your scale to what you have control of and stop moving around here trying to solve everything or prove anything to any of us.
I responded because you called me a liar for stating facts. You constantly decide for others and double down on things stupider than this conversation as well. Fucking decide for your own life. If your goal is 100% making your daughter have the best life then make choices for that, dont continue with others who that's not their goal.
You haven't failed if you haven't given up yet. Just change your tactic or your mind every once in a while. And yeah I will stop giving you the attention you crave now. Go deal with yourself. And I don't mean that in the snarky way you are. Suicide fucking hurts, it's physically a painful mess and it doesn't fix anything it just means you stop the board without ever even trying to get more points and everyone else has to play on without you.
Do better than daydreaming about already failing.
I know I haven't failed yet. I said I'm going to fail.
And yes, I know everything I say is stupid, I already established that. I realize I'm a moron but you don't have to repeat what I said back to me.
Anyway, like I said, you won't have to worry about any of it soon enough when I inevitably ruin her life because I won't be around to see the fallout. I won't be manipulating you any more. I'm not even sure how I'm doing it now, but I believe you because everything anyone says about me that is bad is almost certainly true to some extent.
