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)

Please tell me this comment is satirical. If not, that's just genuinely sad. Boomers have never been ones to look up to. I live in a city full of them and deal with them every day.
What you don't like about them? Boomers has lots of pros, and very few cons. They're polite people, they have lived the golden age of America and humanity: the age were buying a house was cheap, in a period of time with enough technology to not wash their own clothes in the river, but not enough to screw it up with AI and smartphones. Low divorce rate compared with the younger generation, etc.
Oh, let's see. They're selfish, they treat everybody else as below them, they think everybody today has the same opportunities and healthy economy that they did, they cling to power long after they're well past the point of being completely out of touch with modern reality, and they act like the entire world should cater only to them. Fuck 'em. The vast majority I deal with at work are cranky, miserable, rude, with a permanent scowl on their face. They do nothing but complain and there is nothing you can ever do to please them, and you can bet your ass they'll still show up the next day to do it again. They also can't drive and I've been struck by one at an intersection because her eyes were so bad she didn't see me.
But sure, keep talking about how they're "polite".
haha oki, I'll keep talking about that.
Sorry about the toxic people in your work though. Maybe a healthy solution would be a kick in their balls π
No, they're not. Also, polite =/= good. That's also completely ignoring that they're the generation that spat on drafted veterans when they came home from Vietnam.
Factually incorrect. https://www.goldbergjones-wa.com/divorce/divorce-by-generation/
https://www.lhudspethfamilylaw.com/boomers-vs-millennials-divorce-rates/
Now are you done pulling completely bullshit claims out of your ass?
haha, nope, I can keep claiming all day, dude π
Firstly, they ARE polite and good people. That thing you've mention about veterans it doesn't apply to the entire generation. That last paragraph that you've wrote full of whining and bitterness could (almost) never have been written by the Boomer generation. Most of them doesn't insult other people for free, like you just did. In that sense they have a better quality as humans than you. That's more typical in our generations: whining when somebody tells you the truth.
Secondly the article you've mentioned is not taking in consideration the low marriage rate that the following generations have and people living outside the US. Besides those divorces are boosted by the "gray divorce". In they meantime, their children were living with both parents.
And finally, they have some extras advantages: they still lived the golden age of human history for the reason I've mentioned in my previous response. Baby Boomers embraced family instead of having those dumb things that nowadays are polluting the western society, like gender ideology, climate change whining, socialism, etc.
