No, no. I'm referring specifically to you.

Nobody likes a propagandist.

Less so when it's low effort.

Even then it's not easy. They went through all the trouble of conceiving of a joke, drawing the and coloring the characters, and then they completely throw it all away by having the most difficult to read handwriting I've seen outside of a doctor's office.

I'm not saying my handwriting is any better, but my work doesn't hinge on legibility.

Yeah, the guy's team was writing "articles and blog posts promoting a tech company".

Letting an LLM mangle that isn't exactly a huge loss.

Why do you think I'm hanging around this shit hole?

Reddit, also famous for people complaining and leaving the platform because of the ads.

Not to mention that under US law black powder guns are not legally considered firearms.

While that's technically a loophole, it's left in place to allow poor people in rural areas to supplement their food budget with hunting even if they have a felony conviction.

"I can take things from those people that are different from me because I'm physically stronger than them and might makes right. You should do the same."

Because folks are notoriously open and welcoming to people explicitly pushing something. "No soliciting" signs are almost completely unheard of.

Just realizing exactly what I miss most about Reddit.

Low effort or low quality content would get filtered out by getting down voted to hell or by being ground into obscurity by the new content coming in.

On Lemmy it stays on the front page for days, but that's not the worst part. The worst part is that the users are ready to fawn over a low effort, pointless piece of media just because it features gender identity. The user base here is so entrenched in its views and so incredibly, ridiculously biased that anything gets a pass as long as it checks the right box and features a pet issue.

If this comic featured a hetero couple it would rightly die in obscurity. Throw in some representation and Lemmy laps it up like mother's milk. That kind of gullibility keeps the content quality nice and low here. Subpar stories, videos, comics, memes, and any other kind of post fly on Lemmy as long as they feature trans people, support non-capitalist systems, or paint Israel in a bad light.

The problem with Lemmy is the users and their tolerance for low quality content. I'm actively looking for a non-reddit content aggregator, but until I find one I'm not going to put up with low quality content just because it checks the appropriate social issues box and I'm going to call out people who let shit fly just because it agrees with their agenda.

Your "humblest user" award is in the mail.

Plotline? You're giving this low effort, meaningless shit too much credit.

Anyolduser , 28 days ago to Comic Strips in So...

Does this piece of shit really count as "storytelling"?

Anyolduser , 28 days ago to Comic Strips in So...

Does it still get to be called a comic if it lacks any entertainment or artistic value?

I expected a comic strip to have a decent punch line and actually try to make the reader chuckle.

Boy, were my expectations subverted.
