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
It feels earlier. I could swear I saw it at the tail end of the Bush years, but it might have actually been the first Obama term. The artist dumped a bunch of comics in a 2011 post on their blog, so probably at least that old.
This scene takes place in the gift wrapping section of a department store. Let that sink in for a moment.
This comic is from (IIRC) 2002 or 2003, itβs at least 22 years old.
The have wanted us to shut the fuck up and play along sine 9/11
They've always wanted everyone to shut the fuck up and play along. 9/11 was just another opportunity to build towards that goal.
Iβm pretty sure itβs from the early 2000s
Trump fucks kids
Is this literally true?
I know he's been a creep forever (and a felon, and a racist, and...), but I don't remember literal statutory rape.
There's plenty of solid arguments we could make against him, especially about his predatory behavior, but I don't think this should be one of them.
And if a fence-sitter actually follows up on it, this is the kind of thing that could be used as an excuse for them to go full-MAGA.
Recent claims that new documents prove the validity of the Johnson claims are false, because these documents are from 2016 and have nothing to do with what have become known as the "Epstein docs."
Viral claims that Trump has a history of sexually assaulting children first emerged with the Johnson lawsuits in 2016. Pictures of court documents related to the case have lent perceived credibility to additional unsourced claims of child abuse that followed, and memes frequently combine the two claims.
Such claims are not new, come with several red flags and originated with an aggressive push by a serial fabulist.
Ah yes, downvoting somebody because he uses critical thinking and questions statements on the all truthful internet.
Yes, he's been seen with Epstein and talked about those activities with him. He visited his island. That says enough for the obviousness.
I asked if it was literally true (as in proven, documented, a known fact).
Not if he was very probably, highly likely, the most suspicious ever, the first person you would point at if anyone asked who in this room fucked someone underage.
Yes, he should be behind bars and investigated.
No, as far as we know, it's not literally true. (Probably true, though.)
Unfortunately it is only barely better in the EU, and not just because we use the same trashy US services. On the 14th of October the EU parliament decides about chatcontrol, and it doesn't look too good right now. They're close to completely eradicating trust of communication.
Wanted to say the same, the uncle Sam hat might just as wel be replaced by an EU hat.
They're close to destroying EU software trust. Everyone will just move on. Apps like Telegram who are not EU based are already spiking
Lol, as if Telegram was even remotely better or would not bow to the EU.
I think the only safe bets would either be software that's rather safe due to it's FOSS nature (with servers outside of the EU), or those who simply do not give a shit. There's als Signal clearly stating that if the EU does this their app will become unavailable, as they'd rather stop releasing their software to people than collaborating in surveillance and breaking their own secure protocol in some way.
Not to mention chatcontrol literally breaks both basic EU law, human rights as well as most national constitutions. They'd still try though, obviously. It would indeed shatter the current high trust in EU software.
The UK has already gone all-in, lots of US states are actively crushing free speech with SCOTUSβs illegitimate and corrupt blessing, and the EU is set to approve the widespread spying of itβs citizens in a few weeks. Global authoritarianism is here.
We've always been at war with eastasia
Unfortunately for the US government, the internet never forgets.
But itβs just a series of tubes
Don't forget to call it antisemitism to speak out against genocide
Also don't forget to check whether your VPN is now owned by a British-Israeli company Kape Technologies, because they've been buying them up!
