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.

This this this this. I am dealing with the real world every day. I hear about and try to do something about the horrors. But joy is important too for resisting, and it's hard to have that when you check on online and there is snark everywhere and shoving the horrors into every possible discussion. I probably could just get offline, but on the other hand I want to help the Fediverse grow so I keep coming back. Even taking my approach of only looking at communities I subscribe to… I had to filter out gaming@lemmy.world because people would politic in every conversation. I appreciate a safe space from the horrors.
