[Meta] Friends, Comic Strippers... Lend Me Your Eyes
(lemmy.world)
You all have spoken, and we have listened. The team and I, as well as Lemmy.world Admins, have come to an agreement that any artist/comic that is deemed to be transphobic, racist, or in any other way demonstrates bigotry toward any group or minority will be removed from circulation. We will keep a list of banned artists in the sidebar and update it as new artists are uncovered.
Now, let's discuss details:
- You the reporter have the burden of proof for why an artist or comic breaks this rule; ΒΈ "they're fascist/racist/sexist/it's Tuesday" is not sufficient
- Repeated posting of banned artists will result in progressive punishment/moderated actions, up to being permanently banned
- Think Paradox of Tolerance when determining what bigotry means; e.g.,
- Demeaning conservatives or other politicians (e.g., Devil's Panties) is not rule breaking
- Demeaning women, the LGBTQ+ community, etc is rule breaking
- Anything we consider to be a bad faith post, or trying to skirt the rules because of some perceived loophole
The current list of banned artists include:
- Jago
- Stonetoss
This is not an all-encompassing list, and are subject to moderator's (and admin's) final decisions. Questions, feedback, and playful banter are always welcome.
I feel if the disagreement would be encouraged, you would let commics posted, and let us to downvote or upvote if we want to see some artist or commic...
By giving a rule, you are the one who decides what the line is. There is very little room for disagrrement since your opinion will be the one that is to be enforced.
I can assure you, this rule was made from the collective feedback of the community, other mods, and the .world admins.
I strive to take measured moderation actions only after careful consideration and listening to feedback.
