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.

Ah, Hexbear.
Yes you heard that right. Leftists, known for their aggressive fight for your rights, are akshually worse than conservatives! What a smart comment.
Despite being fairly positive that I'll regret this, sure I'll add more details:
Hexbears are are known for fighting, that's for damn sure:-P. Though they are not leftists - they claim to be such, but their real (self-stated btw) purpose is to attack others. See e.g. this post - it has just... a LOT, including an admin lying to another admin, then getting caught and thereby having to step down.
In short, there is a reason why this instance has been defederated from by most large Lemmy instances. And Hexbears themselves know that, and have been thinking what to do about it for years now, including preemptively defederating from other instances before it can (or needs to) be done to them in turn. In fact, if you read the post mentioned in the previous paragraph, the hexbear admins even cite that as their reasoning behind shutting down those communities - although tbh it is getting confusing to follow, as so many users have been banned, then reinstated, then they said that the bannings were actually a joke of their very own alts, except not ALL were, and some were not brought back, and an admin stepped down, but many asked them to step back up, and an old mod came back and...
Anyway, I am not making this up, this is a real, known quantity on the Fediverse. Look into it.
I never said anything about conservatives, but fair point to bring them in due to the origin of this comic. However, I never said anything about "worse"? You added that all on your own. Fwiw, I don't believe that being a little bit toxic online is anywhere close to e.g. voting against the ability of people to have access to necessary medical care i.e. abortions. There may not be a difference in kind, but there is an ENORMOUS difference in degree, and in the opposite direction as the words you were trying to put into my mouth.
Anyway, I suppose that we shall have to... ahem, ready for it? here it comes... any moment now... and... here it is... "agree to disagree" on this topic, eh? :-P And feel free to block me if you don't like seeing my content - my purpose in being on the Fediverse is to chat & have fun, but I have no desire to cause you pain, especially in these tumultuous times.
