I don’t understand what you mean. I don’t have to click on anything to have it show up in my feed, and because I’m not subscribed to too many things here, just comics and a few other places, this hits my “feed” and stays there. I don’t have to click anything.
If you hadn’t clicked on it we wouldn’t be talking. So next time I suggest you follow your own advice and not click on things you don’t want to engage in.
I agree, it’s very stupid to think the world needs to cater to you and your tastes. It’s very stupid to bitch about other people liking things that you don’t and not just moving on with your life.
No idea. I use Mlem for iOS, which does have it. But it’s something to consider. Otherwise, I would suggest just grumbling under your breath and scrolling past (I do that too sometimes). 🤷♂️
As I said, I don’t have the same algorithmic scroll that reddit has. It simply doesn’t work that way. If nothing else is coming up, I just get the last post… which for an hour happened to be this crappy comic.
You’re missing my point. Coming into the comments to complain about a perfectly legit comic, regardless of your feelings for a poster or the posted, does nobody any good. You can:
Block the poster,
Block the community,
Hide it (if you use an app that supports it),
Filter out specific keywords (assuming the poster is thoughtful enough to provide them),
Downvote and move on, or
Do nothing and live with it.
I was hoping to avoid the list, but here we are. 😊
Block, not ban, but that sounds like exactly what you’re looking for. If seeing these comics is that big a deal to you, you can block everyone who posts them and eventually you’ll almost never see them. The only alternative I can think of is just putting up with seeing things you don’t like, which is what I do and it seems to work pretty well. Occasionally I even start to like things I didn’t like before. But based on the conversation downthread that doesn’t seem like a viable path for you so I thought I’d offer an alternative.
Some people post her comics with her name in the title. You can block keywords, so I’d at least add her name to that. It’s not perfect, some posts like this one would slip through
Listen, I get it. I kicked the wasp’s nest of fans. That doesn’t take away from the fact that she’s about as Narcissistic as Trump, and almost half as vengeance seeking.
Maybe just stop paying so much attention to her. I read her comics and that’s about it. I don’t need to know her personal business and you should know that anyone who makes it to a certain place in the Internet popularity contest is going to have baggage. Nobody is a saint. And even saints have blood on their hands (usually). Not everyone is a Francis.
I would gladly not look at any of her comics again, which is why I asked the original question. Tag her comics, tell me how I filter for that tag. Presto! Instant ignore.
However, I know plenty of the drama from r/comics and can tell anyone who asks. Sue me.
Nobody is making you participate in the c/comic strips. If you don’t like it just downvote it, block the people who posted it and move on. All you are doing is being a troll
Blocking people who happen to post a category of thing you don’t want to see is a really bad solution especially on a smaller platform, the lack of options here is an actual problem
But they are making me view them, and I don’t care to. Give me a tag to filter and I’m good. You guys can continue circling jerking to her rage bait garbage.
there may very well be “some good videos” but what comes up in a search is a shitton of seemingly bad-faith ones, using caricatures and unattributed quotes in the thumbnails.
Not sure about the nationalist part, but yes, he is right-wing/conservative. I didn’t want to suggest that I believe what they are saying about pizzacake, as I didn’t like the tone and personal attacks. Like, since when does the looks have to do something with what they do online?
I am just surprised that there are videos online about criticizing pizzacake. She seems to piss off certain user groups very much.
Nothing on the surface other than these low effort rage-bait comics that get crazy amounts of reddit karma and absolutely game the system. It’s still undetermined exactly how. My personal belief is that people just like crap like this that they can use as a weapon against people on other social media platforms, but the algorithm loves her apparently. The comics are particularly baity though when she’s getting low on enthusiasm or maybe engagement. That’s when her and the mods of her personal comics subreddit r/comics really have their fun, permanently banning anyone who even hints at criticism of any kind. If not there, then anywhere on reddit. This has gotten particularly worse the last couple of years.
Yes, she has an XXX onlyfans. My guess is more than half the guys who she’d call Nazis like subscribe. That’s really where she makes her money.
She isn’t. Neither are the mods. They’re just internet losers. I honestly think her stuff is just favorable to the algorithm and she’s gathered a robust, absolutely devout and aggressive fan base. She’s their darling, and they don’t want to lose her.
Well, I’m convinced. That’s absolutely conclusive. It just doesn’t make sense! I mean, it’s not like there’s any kind of immediately available evidence that your opinion of her isn’t anywhere close to the majority opinion or anything…
I did say that I suspect people just like her rage bait comics. That’s most likely the answer. Which makes sense because all you guys really want out of comics is something to bash the other side over the head with. But, I reserve a little space for skepticism. I’m allowed to do that, right?

I was once permabanned from there due to a meta thread discussing pizzacake related mass bans, where literally all I said in my comment was to point out the existence of a tool to see what comments have been removed and evaluate for yourself what is happening. Had previously blocked pizzacake in an effort to avoid all the drama in the comments under her comics but it wasn’t enough. Fortunately I am now banned from reddit entirely and no longer have to worry about these things, at least lemmy has modlogs.
How do I block pizzacakecomic content here?
Just scroll past, dude.
i could just block you, i like to post them, easy ;)
Works for me.
It’s super easy to just not click on them.
Ridiculously easy. Pathetically easy even.
It’s exponentially easier not to comment on them for that matter.
Bad argment. You don’t have to tap/click for the comic to show up on your feed, regardless if you’re on desktop or mobile.
To avoid seeing it you’d have to know it was coming up ahead of time and refuse to scroll down too far
I don’t understand what you mean. I don’t have to click on anything to have it show up in my feed, and because I’m not subscribed to too many things here, just comics and a few other places, this hits my “feed” and stays there. I don’t have to click anything.
If you hadn’t clicked on it we wouldn’t be talking. So next time I suggest you follow your own advice and not click on things you don’t want to engage in.
Ok but like, they were asking how to block it. They want to not engage. Can you not understand that
You don’t engage by scrolling past. Again pathetically easy to do.
This is a stupid argument.
I agree, it’s very stupid to think the world needs to cater to you and your tastes. It’s very stupid to bitch about other people liking things that you don’t and not just moving on with your life.
They’re trying to curate their feed, not yours.
Yes, there’s some assholes in the comments, but I think you’re going off on the wrong person here
I don’t care what you like, I just asked how I can block it for myself. You do you, mate.
Yeah i clicked this and it was a jumpscare, no pizzacake warning
That wasn’t the point of conversation. Please work on your reading comprehension.
How was i supposed to know it was a pizzacake comic before i clicked on it
Perhaps using another interface that show images like a feed instead of as small thumbnails that has to be clicked to show.
Some apps have the ability to hide posts. That’s been a lifesaver for me when I see content I don’t like on subs I enjoy.
Not sure if boost has that. Still trying to get my legs here.
It does. in the post, go to : “…” menu, “about user”, then “block user”.
No idea. I use Mlem for iOS, which does have it. But it’s something to consider. Otherwise, I would suggest just grumbling under your breath and scrolling past (I do that too sometimes). 🤷♂️

Thanks for the list. Just so there’s no misunderstanding in the future, am I allowed to complain?
Calling out bullshit is worth the effort because i actually like this place and i hate to watch it enshitify
Also, that’s not what “enshittification” is.
Me too so I’m calling out your bullshit in order to keep this place nice.
There’s a keyboard shortcut for it: Alt + F4
Cute
You can block any kind of content you want by blocking the people who post it.
Why would I want to ban them just because they posted something I don’t like. That person isn’t the artist.
Block, not ban, but that sounds like exactly what you’re looking for. If seeing these comics is that big a deal to you, you can block everyone who posts them and eventually you’ll almost never see them.

I just chose to hide it.
Agreed. And Mimi too.
I block pizza and cake and pizzacake but some fuckers can’t be bothered to tag I guess @not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Yeah I can’t stand it either, her comics are super annoying and she’s not a good person either
Why? What did she actually do?
She’s popular
Popular, fragile and incredibly vindictive.
Listen, I get it. I kicked the wasp’s nest of fans. That doesn’t take away from the fact that she’s about as Narcissistic as Trump, and almost half as vengeance seeking.
Maybe just stop paying so much attention to her. I read her comics and that’s about it. I don’t need to know her personal business and you should know that anyone who makes it to a certain place in the Internet popularity contest is going to have baggage. Nobody is a saint.

She’s not just reddit boosts her posts to the frontpage, she probably is paid by reddit
We all know who she is and I enjoy her comics. So I think you’re just jaded.
Edit: As of this reply it’s 75+ 5-
So I rest my case
Yeah hasan piker is getting upvoted lately too, what’s your point? A lot of people on lemmy are not the brightest
Interesting take, would you mind explaining in deeper detail?

Imagine comparing Pizzacake to someone who treats their own supporters like shit. This take is squeakier than clown shoes.
Be female
Some good videos on youtube about her crashouts and overall hypocrisy if you really wanna waste time and get into it
She’s like the definitive example of why reddit sucks
there may very well be “some good videos” but what comes up in a search is a shitton of seemingly bad-faith ones, using caricatures and unattributed quotes in the thumbnails.
also, why are you talking about reddit?
Surely if it’s that bad at least one of the reasons is simple enough to list in a sentence or two here.
You’ve got nothing
Ngl I did not expect her to be this kind of a problematic person and I enjoyed her comics in the past.
Just watched this here: https://youtu.be/RqiuOJhNlCA
That vid is from a right wing nationalist. You’ve been had.
That channel has a book review for Man in the High Castle with a thumbnail captioned “The Good Timeline”. Yeah it seems problematic.
Not sure about the nationalist part, but yes, he is right-wing/conservative. I didn’t want to suggest that I believe what they are saying about pizzacake, as I didn’t like the tone and personal attacks. Like, since when does the looks have to do something with what they do online?

why are you talking about reddit?
Because this is reposted from reddit. She’s a reddit comic artist.
What? She is. That’s her stomping grounds.
it could also be from her insta or her bsky or her patreon?
Could be…but it’s where she spends the most time.
…good for her? don’t see what that has to do with where op found it
Many people think she is even a reddit employee
Not exactly the most compelling conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard…
She isn’t. Neither are the mods. They’re just internet losers. I honestly think her stuff is just favorable to the algorithm and she’s gathered a robust, absolutely devout and aggressive fan base. She’s their darling, and they don’t want to lose her.
