Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- 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).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

There can be good targeted ads eg. For locus businesses. But usually they are not that.
When I did have Instagram I did really like that it told me about local events, the downside that I had to scroll reels to get them. All those events listing websites don't have the type of events I want to see. So there's no places I know about them unless it's from Instagram.
the cork board at the good coffee shop has filled that niche for me pretty well
Oh yeah, I like that.
It's the targeting itself that is bad. Very, very bad. It's a blueprint for mind control and singling out opposition. In the current political climate, this spells bloody trouble.
Elections are far out and this ain't America. Also if the radio would be able to do it so should online ads. That's the line, though.
If I am looking to buy a product or service that serves a specific need, then I would rather be able to use a search engine to find it.
Ads have more than 1 purpose. Eg. Creating awareness a new restaurant opened in your area.
