  • By giving a rule, you are the one who decides what the line is. There is very little room for disagrrement since your opinion will be the one that is to be enforced.

    I can assure you, this rule was made from the collective feedback of the community, other mods, and the .world admins.

    I strive to take measured moderation actions only after careful consideration and listening to feedback.

    [Meta] Friends, Comic Strippers... Lend Me Your Eyes

    Jump

  • It’s a difficult path to walk. Even things that were socially okay 5-10 years ago could be abhorrent today. Everything now is especially raw given the current rift between the different groups of certain people. And then there are those who like to poke the proverbial bear for whatever reasons they have, be it for attention, enjoyment, or because they are simply mean spirited. There are also those who do it unintentionally or without malice.

    As I said to another commenter, it’s not black and white and will need to be dealt with on a case by case basis.

    Personally, I find things like the origins of the Adamm’s Family comics interesting. The TV show and movies are staples of our culture, then and now; even if some of their original content was not up to our current standards. But, I also respect that some people may not feel the same as me, and that’s to be expected.

    As long as we all remain respectful, we are encouraged to disagree in this community. It’s the only way we can be a genuine community.

  • You can phrase it however you wish, but to continually harass people and their mental capacities will be a fast track to your being banned. If you have a beef with that, you're welcome to take that up with the powers that be. But I for one will not tolerate anybody calling out anybody else's mental capacities for any reason.

  • I just got around to looking at your links, and as a web developer I can tell you that's a lot even for professionals to read, digest, and understand; let alone most people posting to a comic strips community on Lemmy. Not that I am suggesting the people here couldn't understand it, but that it's a heavy lift for the context of people's usage. That said, I did find a link to demonstrate how to add alt-text to Lemmy images using markdown, and I also suggested people transcribe their posts into text and gave an example comic that does that. Hopefully that will help encourage people to post more accessible comics.

    [Meta] New Rules, and New Future

    Jump

  • When I first opened your link, it looked like modlog (lemmy-ui) was highlighting a post I removed; which is what I was commenting on. When I tried to go back again a second (and third time), it didn’t. It was confusing, and I had to go to bed for work. 😅

  • That was slightly less than 2 days.

    That was due to my updating the post changing the submitted date. In retrospect, I should’ve added timestamps to my updates so it would correlate better.

    I would be happy to add your links to the sidebar as a guide for posters. I will do this tonight after work.

    [Meta] New Rules, and New Future

    Jump

  • You are correct. When I was given mod, there were over 600 reports that needed to be addressed. At the time I removed that post, the rules were not yet changed to allow NSFW content. So I removed it based on the original rules. If you would like to repost it now, you're more than welcome to do so.

  • [Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?

    Jump

  • The way I see it, if you as a user like a comic enough to research the artist, and you discover said artist holds values that are offensive to you, then you've learned something valuable. Plus, you get to make up your own mind whether you want to continue following said comic/artist. It is a fine line to walk as a mod (or person in power) to dictate what is and isn't acceptable at any given moment. I learned this the other day when I posted updated rules re-enforcing the original "family friendly" intention. People were quick to point out that we are all adults here and should be given the option of choosing for themselves. And there will always be people who try to take advantage of the rules. I can't say what will or won't happen for hypothetical situations that haven't happened yet, because I honestly do not know how I might respond until it happens. So for now, I am willing to give people leeway and go from there.

  • The one I was referring to is Dwight Schultz (Lt. Broccoli). There are other actors/actresses I've heard who have political ideologies opposite of mine. It's been a disappointing year for me in that respect. 😅

  • This was posted (and reported) before the rule change, and I removed it due to it's non-"family friendly" nature. There were a couple of other posts that I removed for similar reasons. Now, if you would like to repost it with the appropriate NSFW tag, you're welcome to do so now that the rules officially support this content.

  • [Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?

    Jump

  • Hi! As of right now, here is my take on the situation: as long as the comics (and posters posting them) do not break the rules, they are allowed. If we were to ban content based on its creators, there probably would be a lot of content people would miss out on. Take for example Harry Potter. In my personal opinion, the author is a trash person, and I personally will no longer invest my time, effort, or money into their franchise. However, the stories and lore and fan base are still good. There is an actor who had a recurring (and popular) role in Star Trek: TNG (and a few episodes of Voyageur) who turned out to be a trash person. But, the memes and other content being posted about their roles are still funny and entertaining.

    I guess what I am trying to say is that I feel that the content is not always a direct reflection of the bad values that their creators/portrayers may have. But, if the community as a whole wants to band together and downvote said content or petition for a new rule that includes a common identifier (i.e., artist name) in the title so it can be keyword filtered by individuals, I would certainly support those efforts. I am definitely not on the side of removing artist credit, even if the artist is not someone I like for whatever reason. They still deserve credit for their work; if anything, so as to ensure other people know who they are and what kind of work they produce.

    And if you have other ideas for how we can address these types of situations, please keep them coming.

  • I appreciate it. But if you are making the posts yourself, then as far as I am concerned, that's not bot-like behavior. Good luck on your new app!

  • The use of "bots" is meant to mean unattended, artificial interaction, as directed by pre-programmed scripts/actions. Is this what you're working on?

  • I don't follow either artist, and have only seen mentions of them like how you describe. So my thought process is likely going to be case-by-case.
