For all your boycotting needs. I'm sure there's some mods caught in lemmy.ml's top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

!memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz. Or of course communities that rule.
!asklemmy@lemmy.world
!linux@programming.dev. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
!programmer_humor@programming.dev
!world@lemmy.world
!privacy@lemmy.world and maybe !privacyguides@lemmy.one, lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. !fedigrow@lemm.ee says !privacy@lemmy.ca. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)
!technology@lemmy.world
Seems like !comicstrips@lemmy.world and !comicbooks@lemmy.world, various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
!opensource@programming.dev
!fuckcars@lemmy.world

(Out of the loop? Here's a thread on lemmy.ml mods and their questionable behaviour)

        JOIN US! Comicbooks is slow, I'd like it to grow so I can discuss less popular creator owned comics, at the moment it's mostly some news posts, my list posts, some super hero discussion, and some dude who thinks internet comic strips are "comic books" (but nobody has corrected them because they seem nice enough lol).

Is that me? Ha ha

Naw lol the one you posted is at least a nightwing/starfire thing, it's related. But you're cool too!

I meant whoever posted the one about the comet passing earth a little while back haha.

You've never seen superfans print out and bind a webnovel, huh 😛

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Lol technically correct, the best kind of correct!

Naw for real though I just think personally that stuff belongs in comicstrips or one of the more apt communities for it, and comicbooks is specifically for Comic Books proper (not just Marvel/DC but also Image, IDW, DSTLRY, Massive, etc, the more creator owned and independent side.) I think this because quite frankly "Comic Books proper" doesn't really fit in those communities dedicated to strips, and I'd like a space for it specifically when I'm looking for that stuff specifically. My opinions on the matter are far from "the rules" though, it is certainly allowed to post them.

This is also not to say I don't like strips, I do very much and am in most of those communities as well! It really just boils down to organization for me lol, may be slightly OCD.

Thanks I'll check it out! But also I'm not the only poster there, there's you, Jordan, and a few others too! It's a small community but it is a community haha. I'd like to see it grow but I'm also thankful for you guys who are already there!
