Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

God I thought we left these comments on reddit.
Not everyone is on Lemmy at all times. Just because it was posted 3 months ago, which is not really short enough to say "just 3 months ago", doesn't really mean anything. I didn't see it. Either I was not active or it didn't show on my feed. This can apply to a lot of other people. Then there are people who have joined since.
It was 3 months ago. A quarter of a year. If this was posted last week, I'd get it. But 3 months?
Policing reposts is just bizarre. You end up spending time yourself scrolling back through or searching through previous posts to find a link to comment as a gotcha. But... it's not a gotcha. This is the internet and this is a content sharing site. Reposts will happen.
I do not understand this stuff at all. It's just totally and insanely foreign to me.
Not all posts are made for you. A repost for you is not a repost for other people. Calm down.
Edit: Downvote me all you want. If you're so genuinely upset and angry about a repost from 3 months ago then I don't really care about your opinion in the first place. Other people exist. If you're not kind enough or considerate enough to think about literally everyone else who might not have seen it then I don't know what to tell you. Think about someone else for a change and stop thinking your experience is universal. It isn't.
Wow, you know what makes this all even worse? This moron JOINED 3 DAYS AGO, so your first point should be valid for them in particular. But nah, let's complain about a post predating the account by 30x.
Don't take this out of context, but age is irrelevant to me. ON THIS. But you know, funny.
I don't care about the age of the account as the long as the point has, well, one. Whining about reposts is just.... narcissistic in my opinion. At least when you're talking about shit 3 months old. If it was a week or two, sure, but come the fuck on dude.
Oh I know, I'm not hung up about age either. On this. Lol
I just thought it was interesting that the complaint wasn't even relevant in any way to the account complaining. Like, really? Why? What thought process was this?!
