Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Upvoting the selection of truly impactful comic books. Guess my collection is missing Saga. Thank you for that.
god i'm glad some part of that long rant landed for someone. it's so weird how on the internet effort, care, and thought are all punished
Hmm, honestly, I feel like that isn't necessarily the case and often connected to the audience, especially if such a comment is offtopic.
Personally I have felt that on Lemmy effort and care are very much appreciated. But there is a breaking point in regards to the insightfulness and the length of the comment. Like there needs to be at least X amount of new and interestimg information per paragraph.
Hey its me the internet, SHAME ON YOU for writing such a thoughtful comment.
You know, it isn't easy being me, I somehow have access to all the information on earth and yet I leave all the smart kind people in the world with sad surprised pikachu expressions on their faces!
What to do!
Then someone like you comes along with the nerve to write a cool comment and like bam all of a sudden the whole dead internet theory of corporate control over the media seems like a bunch of powerful people giving up their power to control the commons in an a hilarious strategic miscalculation that assumed killing the lights wouldn't make the person with the crank up flashlight the most popular person in the room.
How DARE you. Whatever you do don't keep writing really interesting and cool comments like this and definitely don't link to more interesting sources and articles people can read if they find it interesting.
STOP IT... no I told you to STOP DOING THAT
And then a lot of the rest of what I know comes from listening to people talk at conventions (mainly recordings of those). There's a lot of oral history to comic books as they exist as a result of the relationship Comic books have with propaganda and street art. A lot of comic book purists believe that a comic book should not arrive to the reader with any instructions on how to interpret it. The reader must take it in and consider it, and once they are co-located with someone involved with the making of the comic, or someone who's gotten the information word of mouth, learn how to interpret the propaganda from verbal confirmation. Oda, the mangaka of One Piece, for many years was very cage-y about how to interpret his work and would always answer any questions from readers with "I can't just tell you everything, you have to figure it out" but lately has been a bit more direct and urgent about that his work is a monumental piece of fiction intended to communicate that liberation movements need the following:
i haven't forgot about you. i just got home. i'll send some shit tomorrow
you i like. i'm moving house today, but after that i'll try to put together a list of resources for learning comic books, graphic novels, and street art. unfortunately most of my understanding comes from word of mouth and physical books and articles, so a lot of what i just shared is just shit i've picked up through the years. but you can definitely start with comic tropes on youtube. that guy makes comics and comic history really approachable. personally i think he's at his best when he's covering a silver age artist or an artist from somewhere other than NYC
