Hi !

Been there for a while :)

🫡

Also plenty of all timer comics are just one panel with no “full story” to it (eg. some of Gary Larson’s works, some of Thurber’s more absurdist works, etc.)

Finally, the beepening is over.

Good luck moderating this place, hope my provocative content doesn’t create too many moderation headaches, I’ve stirred up the userbase quite a few times in the past :)

As a former mod of some big communities, make sure to always remember it’s a volunteer task and not a job. You don’t owe anyone explanations, you’re allowed to be wrong, you can take breaks, even if you’re doing your best some people will dislike you no matter what. Keep it cool or it might affect your mental health. Remember this comment if you ever feel burnt out!

Felt the urge to draw this mini comic after seeing Melania’s public announcement on Epstein.

It’s not a bot, it’s a person who purposefully removes attribution from content they share on Lemmy. It’s their entire personality.

Their logic makes no sense (other than being an asshole), so their attempts to justify it make no sense either. Don’t overthink it.

Nah fuck off don’t pretend to be nice, you know very well what you’re doing and why it makes you an asshole.

You wouldn’t even know there’s a website to follow in the first place if I didn’t sign my work.

I might have the most subtle and easy to remove signature of everyone who shares content here, yet you still find a way to complain. Your crusade is childish and you deserve to be piled on by everyone who can’t wait for mods to come back and shut you up for good.

You do sound like a dick whether you mean it or not.

Use a search engine and look up what a watermark is. It’s text that’s spread all over the image, making it impossible to use/share without removing it, thus making the removal of attribution impossible. I add a signature to my comics, not a watermark. It’s small and, as you just proved by doing it, very easy to remove if you think a discreet attribution is the same as an advertisement.

The goal of signing the comic is not to make anyone “feel guilty” if they remove the signature (it happens often anyway so many people clearly don’t care), it’s to allow people who see this comic and want to see more by the same artist to visit the website where they can find more. On the website, there are no ads, no products being sold, it’s purely there to share content with others who are looking for it.

Piss off and go bother people who care about your shitty trolling attempts instead, I’m not falling for your low tier bait (if you’re not trolling then you’re just being a gigantic asshole on purpose and that’s not any better).

Got your back, don’t worry 😊

True true, passive voice and preemptive denial are very important.

Thanks for fixing my mistake, I sometimes forget in which society we live.

Now now, mainstream news would never dare show manipulated images, would they?

Swear on the lives of all broadcasting services, it was 100% Quentin Deranque who was beat up by an evil gang of antifa vigilantes, and not him and his gang of nazis who were the aggressors and got knocked out in self defense in the ensuing fight. That’s worth at least a minute of silence in parliament, and if you try to contradict the official narrative, then you’re the real fascist for being an antifascist.

(this is the current state of public debate in France, and people wonder why the far right is on the rise)

Classic 4 panel rages should never have gone out of style :)

I wish you could see yourself from the outside.

Plain embarrassing.
