- 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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

WITH attribution left intact
there's a level of irony to omitting the artist's wordmark on an "i made this" meme comic lol
The worst part is that the unattributed versions are out there now to be shared. He's creating hundreds of images that will continue to spread, ensuring that the artists never get credit for their work. It's a real piece of shit move. This guy needs to be banned.
Xkcd and other artists who don't use water marks:
Am I a Joke To You?
Do you steal artists' work on your main account too, or is this just a gimmick account?
WITH ~~attribution~~ ads left intact
So I guess copyleft licenses like CC BY enforce mandatory ads, by your logic?
My bet is they’re doing it for the attention they’re getting by doing it
Yup this. Attention seeking. Seen it way too often on Lemmy.
Slight nitpick, but CC BY is not a copyleft license, because it doesn't require derivative works to be licensed the same way. CC BY-SA and CC BY-NC-SA are copyleft licenses.
CC BY does not tell you to watermark all your works based on it.
You could simply provide attribution via text/hyperlinks.
