We(Lemmy users) are adblock users and are tired of capitalism that ruined Reddit.
All of us didn’t come here to look at ads again or to entertain capitalist dreams of embedding ads everywhere.
My recommendation is clear, let’s ban watermarked comics and work towards ad free community.
At the end, music don’t have watermarks and neither do art. So why should comics have watermarks?
Linking to the source should be the primary way of attribution.


While we could enforce the rule of link being the attribution, as a general rule it’s not what will happen when someone shares anything on the Internet. It will be ripped out of context and posted on random places with zero attribution.
Exhibit A: yourself. Your post history does only occasionally contain links.
I avoid it because a lot of times the source is Reddit or Instagram.
But if the rule enforced, I would attribute back everything. Because it became agreed upon this compromise basically.
In short, I would link back even if to Reddit. But we need to have a standard here to kick ads out before I do that.
So… you fully admit that you could do the right thing, but just won’t?
