          I was on reddit long enough to remember the early days with the slew of novelty accounts. It was glorious.

          No sleep was fun because a lot of the stories are a bit of a slog with the same twists we’ve heard 100 times before, but every once in a while you’d find a gem and it would just blow you away. I loved one called the left right game, it was what got me into the subreddit.

    A tumblrized reference to an ancient reddit in-joke. How quaint.

    Honestly kind of a bittersweet thing to see, it makes me think of all the good things we left behind. But then again, we did bring the best parts with us. Star Trek, Linux, and beans are all a Lemmizen needs.

        They’re still posting on reddit. So either they never went or they came here, seen the state of the platform and promptly left.

            We’re honestly better off without them. Power users and power mods kinda ruined Reddit.

                Someone like Gallowboob. They just post an endless stream of low quality drivel and eventually turn into ad machines and push specific narratives and propaganda. We’re much better off without them.

      I don’t like Star Trek, I don’t understand Linux, and I don’t even know what you mean by “beans”. Unless you mean the actual food…but that doesn’t answer any questions.

        I admire your honesty, it’s a bold strategy on the internet.

        Beans is referencing the period where bean memes were the popular meme. There wasn’t a reason (that I could see), people just posted bean memes for a while.

      It’s a reference to a reddit user (https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1gnxkgd/comment/lweabef/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) who would post these intricate comments with these really engaging stories that would then end with that last paragraph, which describes the events of a 1998 wrestling show where the wrestler The Undertaker threw the wrestler Mankind (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mankind_vs._The_Undertaker) and the type of wrestling match (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_in_a_Cell ).

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ 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.
  3. 🧬 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.
  4. 📽️ 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!
  5. 📋 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.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ 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.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 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.
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:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

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)

Web of Links
  • !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: “I use Arch btw”
  • !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don’t say!)
