Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
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
- GPrime85
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
Basically the same thing happened to me...
Reddit user for 10 years, 10,000+ karma, active in a lot of niche communities and even started a couple myself. All the sudden got banned multiple times in the span of a few months in 2025 for talking shit about Trump, ICE, China, and generative AI companies... And then I was perma-banned across all accounts and devices with any new account banned within a couple of hours of creation. Their loss.
I'm ashamed to admit that I was a too addicted to browsing and commenting Reddit multiple times a day. Like most social media, that's by design, as the algorithm is tailor-made to draw you in and keep you engaged.
It's much better for me, and for the internet at large, to just spend more time on the fediverse where I can be part of an actual community instead of a cog in some corporate data harvesting machine. I'm actually glad that Reddit requires an app these days to browse on mobile, because sometimes i find myself browsing reddit for a few minutes before the pop-up blocks me from continuing and then I remember to check the fediverse instead.
thats thier AI moderation in action, it just probably detecting alot of things you said that wernt initially ban worthy and just decided to ban you, because you said random things over different accounts, and it assumes you are ban evading or botting. they have other wierd metrics to ban people to. like your brwoser fingerpint looks suspicious, or your writing style, or you made too new of an account.
sounds like you were shadowbannd too.
26,978 Karma just checked my recently banned account that I've had for 5 years. I got banned for breaking rule one which is bullying, harassment or violence against a marginalized group for asking reddit something like: Why don't we castrate all billionaires if we don't want generational wealth? and all my accounts linked and I can't comment or like. ..... I missed it for a little bit for the reason of not being able to correct people as well lmfao but I don't miss it now that I've found something better.
Laughing at the idea of billionaires being a "marginalized group".
You and me both. I was like that's not possible when I got banned for that. That's a valid question too. To be honest and I know filters don't think logically but thinking logically, wouldn't someone be more inclined to take their money and leave them for dead than go through the trouble of cutting off their genitals and knowing someone or having the surgical knowledge to do such?
Like castration of billionaires is way more time consuming than just finding better legal wording to get them to get them to redistribute their wealth back into society. I don't think generational wealth is as big of a problem as tax breaks are.
Think of it: they donate a building or build for example a hospital wing and that humanizes them to the public and the media and they look like less of a rat bastard while they're doing it for tax cuts and writeofffs. I bet if they also didn't need to spend money to be fiscally sound they wouldn't do it too.
If people who made 500k$ upwards got taxed by 3% more than the people who made 100k$..... Life would be significantly better.
