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.

Yes, because comment sections on Lemmy/Reddit/Social Media are a good metric for what happens AFK. We saw that when Lemmy/Reddit perfectly predicted the crushing loss of Donald Trump.
Oh wait...
I'd suggest going out more and hanging out with real people.
As I recall Lemmy/Reddit was telling people how important it was to vote, because Trump wasn't guaranteed to lose, and if he wins he's going to become a dictator.
Seems pretty accurate to me.
But you seem to have a pattern of not actually listening to what people are saying so I'm not surprised you got that wrong.
I think they're referring to the online experience. Every single post about some "woman who does something intelligent / skillful", with enough attention (and it doesn't take much!), will contain guys being absolute shits.
Seems like the confusion can be attributed to assuming the discussion was limited to "being outside".
You're not from US, but somehow you know what hanging out with real people is like here?
