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.

One platform that dominates for a handful of years at most isn't that important
Can you clarify? You're saying you don't currently want to try TT because you don't think it's existed long enough, and/or that you didn't try it before because you didn't think it would last that long?
Idk dude, the latter would literally be exactly what people said about the Internet. "It's just a fad", "it won't go anywhere/be useful/last long".
I mean, our ineffective af government was somehow able to rally bipartisan support against this very popular app that many Americans use to create/manage/advertise their businesses, one that is the only slightly left-leaning social media site and one that isn't controlled by American oligarchs. But you still think it's not important?
That's fair. lol. Agree to disagree. They're not coming for "us" at least!
No, I'm saying g TikTok is one of a number of fads that have come and gone over the years, it's not really important. I'm not some Boomer ignoring the Internet, I'm a Millennial who remembers Vine.
It's one platform. Among many. They come and go over the years. I'm not saying there aren't important discussions to be had about TikTok, I'm just saying let's not pretend it's more than it is.
The Internet is persistent. Communities evolve. Platforms depreciate. Life goes on.
TikTok isn't in any way left leaning. It still seeks to exploit people the same as any other business, they're just better at it.
Yea, also calling TikTok „the only left leaning social media“ on Lemmy of all things seems a tad misguided.
It kills me how people still are unable to see that it's just the WWE. The R are the heels, the D are the face, and back stage they work out their routine for the night before stepping into the ring we call congress, the blood is fake and the insults and outcomes prewritten.
Cue "nuh uh."
