Nose Ears is an absurd comic about the absurd things in life. There’s not any particular topic because absurdity can be found everywhere: In the Internet, in computers, games, gender, bigotry, power structures, copyright, language, crappy ideologies, belief systems, emotions and much more.
Nose Ears is a webcomic created by @Wuzzy@cyberplace.social.
Nose Ears stars the characters of "Mimi and Eunice", who originate from the titular webcomic by Nina Paley; however, it is in no way officially associated with her. As Mimi and Eunice is a free cultural work, anyone can use the characters in their own creations without needing permission first.
For more information on how Nose Ears came from Mimi and Eunice, check out the Long history.
It's social media, so first and foremost, people will go where everyone else is.
Secondly, and almost just as important is ease of use is king. At a population level, people are always going to follow the path of least resistance, until critical mass is reached and the first condition comes into play. Any project, no matter how beneficial, is going to be relegated to second place at best if it's not the easiest one to use.
The lemmy community is just like those kids in school. The ones that had a small group of friends, with their own secret treehouse.
