    Do you still “dial” a phone number? We haven’t used actual dials in forever.

    Ever clicked a URL? Well, it’s actually a URI now.

    Ever seen a soap opera? They don’t have anything to do with soap anymore.

    I think from a technical standpoint, this is a cartoon, but that typically implies animation in the year 2024. Comic strip is acceptable lingo, even if the depiction lacks an overt comedic device.

            There is an story that is being told, with events and a plot and characters, regardless of how brief it is. Your opinion on whether it’s a good story or not doesn’t matter.

            Also why the sudden hostility? You alright dude?

              Just realizing exactly what I miss most about Reddit.

              Low effort or low quality content would get filtered out by getting down voted to hell or by being ground into obscurity by the new content coming in.

              On Lemmy it stays on the front page for days, but that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that the users are ready to fawn over a low effort, pointless piece of media just because it features gender identity. The user base here is so entrenched in its views and so incredibly, ridiculously biased that anything gets a pass as long as it checks the right box and features a pet issue.

              If this comic featured a hetero couple it would rightly die in obscurity. Throw in some representation and Lemmy laps it up like mother’s milk. That kind of gullibility keeps the content quality nice and low here. Subpar stories, videos, comics, memes, and any other kind of post fly on Lemmy as long as they feature trans people, support non-capitalist systems, or paint Israel in a bad light.

              The problem with Lemmy is the users and their tolerance for low quality content. I’m actively looking for a non-reddit content aggregator, but until I find one I’m not going to put up with low quality content just because it checks the appropriate social issues box and I’m going to call out people who let shit fly just because it agrees with their agenda.

        Yes. I think Ben Garrison’s bullshit is still a comic too.
