Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β
Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
Statistically speaking, then immigrants and refugees, commit more crimes.
It's not so much the first generation (the immigrants/refugees themselves) but second and third generation growing up in the country of destination, well and often origin for 2nd/3rd.
Even when factoring for socioeconomic factors, they're over represented statistically speaking. But it's still missing a lot of factors.
There's more reported crime in areas with closer population density, most immigrants aim for the big cities; As they're often more diverse and have better job opportunities, but they're often ending up in below median pay jobs. Combined with living in the most expensive areas, they often end up living in some of the roughest neighbourhoods of the big cities.
While a lot of the poor people among the natives tend to live in rural locations, which sees less reported crimes and tends to have no/few turf wars.
Looking at immigrant workers going to Europe during the worker shortage of the 70s, lots of Turks and Persian folks migrated for jobs and a lot of new cheap housing were built at the edges of city centers. These areas full of people not speaking the native tongue, under median pay. Was the perfect storm to ensure slower than wanted immigration/assimilation - Ideally you'd want to spread migration across the entire country, so Ibrahim, Jiao, Radoslaw, Brian and whatever else their names are would immediately interact with natives from day 1.
Which is exactly what several countries did for Ukrainian refugees, we have examples of countries paying their citizens to house them in their homes and the results are obvious. It worked really well. Although we still have to wait another decade, before we can spot whether or not their children still end up in crime statistics.
There also tends to be rules that disfavours non citizens, an example from Denmark is the fact you can be forced to live with your parents until you're 21 if you're a non EU citizen. Even though you were born here, went through the Danish school system aced high school and the likes. You might be forced to stay at home, rendering university impossible for a subset of bright people for a few years of life.
These systematic rules, is something that will turn people against the system and is also a part of the explanation
