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.

Now, if you're a Reddit refugee, here's some comparison to the Rules we have here:

No avatars

We do have avatars in Lemmy/Piefed! Nobody will give a damn because most of people use Voyager and it doesn't support avatars. Now, Reddit did introduce avatars later on, and if you use NFT avatars here, you'll be mocked relentlessly.

No shouting

Just type normally dude

No factional particularism

...Everything is political. If you disagree with this you're goiing to have a hard time. In society.

Do not speak in meme

Be comprehensible to your audience. Aside of that meme all you want

No source discrimination

Well given what we now know, that was a shit policy, wasn't it? Communities ban sources for a reason.

Dupe is not a crime
Old is not a crime

It started to become a crime in Reddit once they actually implemented source checking. Let me reiterate: Dupe/Old is not a crime in Lemmy/Piefed, because we don't have tools to check for dupes, and at this point, we probably don't want them

No revanchism

I don't know what the fuck happened in Digg to this to be a rule. Probably a good rule to stick to.

Do not plot social revolt

Ah ha ha ha ha! On the contrary, WE WILL PLOT IT ALL THE TIME. (Just not in the way .ml does it)

Obey User Administrators

We don't have bots. ...come to think of it, why do all of the shit get removed in Reddit these days for practically no humanly explainable reason? Hmmmmmmm.

Well, the .ml folks are often espousing authoritarian points of view and I fail to see how that will bring forth a more positive society. I think authoritarian societies have been problematic in the past. But that is just my opinion.

But there are a lot of societal issues that need to be improved for good though!

You mean like killing people who you feel are the problem? That's pretty authoritarian. Or judging people by demographics they fall into? That's pretty authoritarian. Taking the position that there is only one path to success, often violence? That's pretty damn authoritarian.

All popular tacks people on Lemmy (or other parts of the fediverse) push for, often in direct opposition to .ml people.

Just because one has ideological differences with a group of people doesn't mean one is nothing like them. Being righteous does not make one right, just closed off.
