  • I don’t disagree. But Lemmy doesn’t have the same kinds of mod tools as other platforms like reddit. So it’s up to us to report behavior that’s against the rules, and even then it’s up to the mod to be active in the community so they know what’s going on. There isn’t an algorithm or automod to fall back on and the mod of the comics community is … absentee at best.


  • There are a lot of people who will continue to support this user either because they don’t know the user was removing attributions from the stuff they repost, or because this one doesn’t do that so it’s okay.

    Giving them any support will cause them to continue that behavior (and they will continue to break the 2 post limit on this community).


  • I think that deliberately removing credits should be against the rules but if they try to link back to the artist to give attribution in the event that the comic has already had attribution removed I would be okay with that so long as the rest of the work is intact. The individual who’s been shown to be using AI to remove watermarks and artist signatures really ought to receive a suspension or something both for their ridiculous post rate (far exceeding the new rule about 2 posts per day), and also because they admit to removing attibution on purpose.



  • I do have one. The artist who writes and draws the War and Peas comics has a patreon and (on Tumblr where I follow them) they advertise by placing a panel beneath the comic with their patreon information in it. But very often they only share that on their own social media, and I don’t think I’ve seen it on Lemmy.

    But they aren’t hiding their work behind that patreon, instead they ask for donations if viewers should be so inclined.

    I am fine with that type of advertisment because this is them asking people who enjoy their work to help support them.

    I assumed (I may be wrong) that this is was what OP meant. But even if they mean just a signature, to me that’s even more egregious. Would OP go to a museum and remove the placards with the artists names?

    Edit: Green and Blue Fox comics also does this with a link to their Instagram, and other social media where you can find their work, which again, I am fine with. I don’t understand what Op’s beef with artists getting appreciation and potential donations is.
