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]
-
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
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
Censoring swastikas on Nazi uniforms in a work of satire is basically the exact thing this comic is satirising.
I have now restored the original, unedited comic. Thanks for raising this!
Believe me, the irony isn't lost on me, but posts on Lemmy.world has to comply with the laws of Germany, where depictions of the Swastika are forbidden. There are exceptions for artistic usage, so it might have been permissable, but I wanted to err on the side of caution. I hope you understand
Hey, German here: in works of arts and satire that are meant to critically examine Nazism instead of glorifying it, swastikas are not forbidden.
E.g. these are totally legal:
On the street you may have the occasional right wing police officer who tries to give you a headache for your patch with a swastika being thrown in the bin but they can't do anything about it besides getting on your nerves.
Off topic, but I love the top one and the middle bottom. Both are kick ass!
I have seen neither of these outside before. Though "Good night White pride" is often seen in the alternative / left (youth) clubs around town.
Fun fact: The one in the center is pretty similar to the pictogram that is used for communal trash bins (e.g. in parks, public pools, ...). The image is often accompanied by the text "halte deine Umwelt sauber" (keep your environment clean). For the sticker / patch they only exchanged the paper with a swastika and kept the rest as it was. Which makes this the most "German" for me.
I do see the similarities in the middle one. Probably a good idea because it is recognizable enough already.
I like the top middle because mohawk hair. I like the bottom middle because as a person from the US, Iβve known far too many white pride dillholes, so I love seeing them get stomped.
What is the lower left one conveying?
It says "Kiffen gegen Nazis" (Smoking weed against Nazis). Similar to this one:
TIL I've been sticking it to the Nazis for the last 20 years
Oh shit. I love this one too then!!
"It might have been" it would have been, it is a creative work meant explicitly for social commentary.
Do you think I should repost the original comic unaltered?
You can edit this post and put the unaltered image in it instead of the edited.
Oh yes, good point! I will do so.
