A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.

Rule 1 - Be civil.
Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.

Posting guidelines:

No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

[META] Should comments be held to the same rules as posts? (piefed.social)

It's been a running joke since pretty much my 1st post in this comm, that somebody will find a way to explain how my comic post is political. Despite me making it pretty obvious in the sidebar that I'm referring to a very specific flavor of politics.

I've been rolling with them, since I find them more eye-rolling amusing than annoying. However it seems that others might be getting annoyed with them, which I can understand.

IF YOU ARE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, chime in with your opinion here. Should we continue to allow free for all comments, or subject them to the same restrictions on (particular) politics as the posts?

If you are already against the point of this community for whatever reason, please refrain from joining in the discussion.

I dont think political comments should be allowed, feels like it goes against the spirit of the sub. That being said, you have to recognise the state of the US right now, where i can only assume most subs are. A lot of people browse by all and dont realise what sub theyre in. What im getting at is i dont think you should outright ban people for their comments, even on like a 3 strike system. Its just too easy to make a political comment.

Instead, if lemmy allows it, for their first warning just delete the comment. For their second and further, issue them either temporary bans(a day or two) or better yet just mute them. With the amount of time eacalating based on number of infractions.

That being said, i personally find the running joke to be very humourous. I dont think theres actually much confusion on whether a lot of these posts are "political", i think people are just having fun with teasing about how in some ways everything has become political.

Edit: having just reread the post, no clue if im part of the community. I only browse all so theres no point in me subbing to stuff. Can i be an honorary community member?

You're a part of the community if you enjoy it and aren't calling me a fascist for starting it :)
