Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ 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.
-
🧬 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.
-
📽️ 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!
-
📋 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.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
-
🏴☠️ 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.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
- 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.,
-
🍿 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
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)
Web of Links
- !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: "I use Arch btw"

MODERATORS
cookies are going away ?
This was a 2021 comic, which I think was the time when companies had to comply with GDPR regulations. Cookies didn't go away, but companies had to explicitly ask the user for consent to use them [or atleast can't hide that they were using cookies]; usually in form of popups.
ah, so that's why we get these notifications on every single website now ?
Yes, and you can use Consent-0-Matic to fill then out automatically (and reject cookies). Works on at least most of the annoying ones
I could kiss you right now.
I mean. I won't. You never consented to that. But if you're ever in Cleveland, and you wanna be kissed, well.....you know where to find me.
Actually you don't.
Ah, well, perhaps it wasn't meant to be. But hey! You listen to me right now! Keep on being you, and knowing things! The world needs more people who know usefull things! Thats how others learn.
And somewhere as a society, we've lost sight of that, by large. We've become distant as a people. We've lost the art of conversation! Gone are the days of people from opposite ends of the fence seeing each other as friends. Everybody is your enemy now, and everybody is divided. But why? Why now?
Money. Follow the money. If we're all fighting with each other, we can't fight with the rich. And who designed it that way? Certainly not the poor, or the middle class. We don't have trickle down ecconomics. We have gushing upwards ecconomics.
Like.....shits bad. This has to be late stage capitolism. The whole system is on brink of collapse. The rich can't take our money if we have no money. Which means they have no money. Nobody has money anymore, and we face a 1930s style great depression.
Actually, I was reading about the great depression. It didn't sound all that different from my life right now. And do you know what happened right after the great depression? We kicked the nazis asses!
So if there's one silver lining to how much shit the world is going through right now, it's this. There is a very non-zero chance I'll get to kick some nazi ass! Because god damn, are there a lot of them these days!
I'm generally pretty against murder. But killing a nazi? Well that seems more morally correct than NOT killing a nazi. So maybe I have that to look forward to. Yeah!
What was I talking about? Oh, right, yes. Thank you for the cookie tip. It's going to make my PC internet back to it's authentic self.
Yea I am using it ! But it works with only a subset of websites
thanks for the recommendation in any case
Didn't know about that.... will check it out thanks
You might want to try Ghostery. It’s similar to ublock (probably I’ve never used ublock).
It auto-denies all possible cookies, randomizes your location and fingerprinting information, and blocks ads and stuff (good for if you use pihole but need to use a public VPN for something, or mobile browsing or whatever)
I’ve never found a site it didn’t work with, tho it’s possible, I’m sure. It’s also one of the only extensions available for iOS browsers that does all the things, at least that I’ve been able to find.
Thanls for the recommendation !
Prefer Privacy Badger over Ghostery. It's been a while but my understanding is Ghostery sells some data about your data blocking habits. I switched like 8 years ago so I don't remember the details. It's made by the EFF which is a very good organization.
There is also
I still don't care about cookies.what is that ?
Same kind of addon as Consent-o-matic. https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies
Works a bit differently.
Thanks !
I think he refers to the browser extension of the same name.
ok will look it up cheers
~~Of the same type. :-)~~
Edit: I thought you mean of the same as Consent-O-Matic, not what you actually meant.
It's so annoying having to tell every site every time that I don't want cookies. Shouldn't it remember? Isn't there a way to save a small amount of data client side and send it with the request? That sounds like a good idea. I don't see it going badly.
