    it was a genuine question. i’m personally ambivalent the comic but apparently the author is a questionable character and if that makes people uncomfortable i’m for not posting them.

    like, this is a small space. we’re building community. trying to actively fight against that seems antithetical to the idea of lemmy.

      Mine is also a genuine question. You don’t like it? Block it, you won’t see it.

      Unless of course your aim is to dictate other people what they are able to see.

          I feel like we just need to split comics. Whole point of lemmy is to basically allow us to fragment. so mods of world comics don’t care, why not pick an instance make a comic strips with a banned author list. If more people would like to be free of comics from unsavory authors they can move there.

            His point (and point of people like him) isn’t to just not see certain comics as for this they would use a simple “block” button. Their point is to dictate to other people what they can see.

            Funnily enough, all these people moaning are usually the same who pretty much never contribute any strips to this community.

              No there’s a valid point to not want to be a part of a community that platforms the individuals. and I can certainly see a valid point in why blocking doesn’t solve it. 1. different users post from the artists, it’s not going to be met at an individual level.

              IMO it should be a community level decision.

              Though that’s why I still hold to the suggestion that this scism is large enough that a community should be made. Because I can agree with the concept, if the mods in a community don’t agree, making a new community is a solution
