My goal is to have people see my stuff. People liking it or not is out of my hands. Even an insult means they saw it. So I took the win! Especially if they are ‘insulting’ me by comparing me to a comic that has sold 13 million comics worldwide. (Yes, I did realize the guy was insulting me lol)

I’m not seeing the user post his comics, so I can’t really leave him a comment on his comic, so…

Plus, I don’t even hate ‘Family Circus.’ I’m old, so I actually read the comics pages from the newspaper when my dad would give them to me after he read them. And I liked the comic better than ‘Blondie,’ so I’m fine with the comparison. :)

And in another comm, people are telling how much I suck and that I use AI to create my comics, then I show them pics of my workflow and how I’m doing it, and then they call me a spammer. Even tho I only post to my own community and one other comics community.

So Lemmy isn’t the most friendly and welcoming space for artists. Lately, Lemmy seems to be mostly a mix of extremely angry politics talk, and talking about how everything on earth is AI now. I was even called a bot when I replied to something…sigh…

I don’t care tho, I’ll keep posting because I think we have the potential to be something awesome! People have to post different content tho, and I’m just trying to be the change I wanna see :)
