I’ve started sending things to myself in email. That way I never look at them, but it doesn’t free up my precious cloud storage space when I have to reformat my hard drive.
Is this specifically an Emacs thing, like for people who basically use Emacs as their operating system? It sounds interesting, but that’s all I’m seeing when I search for “org mode.” Frankly, Emacs intimidates me.
Yep. I’m a patron of Elk and it’s always disheartening to see them ask everyone to boost it on reddit. I understand it’s their best platform, but it’d be nice for other platforms to also be utilized. I mostly just don’t see Pizzacake anymore unless I open instagram.
Yeah. There’s a reason that I have never posted her comics and never will. Beyond the fact that her comics have never once made me laugh (I do not understand how this comic is supposed to be funny), she would get really antagonistic towards people and throw entire fits. That’s not the type of behavior I am a huge fan of and certainly not the behavior I want to see on lemmy.
No. I am not. You simply need to look harder, or really just look at all. If you’re claiming that you cannot find any evidence then you simply didn’t look. Merely googling her name and the word controversy brings up more than enough examples.
One of the big problems people have with Lemmy atm is the lack of content. Convincing people that posting here is a good thing will pretty much entirely remove that. Plus comic makers very much have an interest in keeping the content QUALITY high as well so it won’t just be more posts… It’ll be more high quality posts.
It really isn’t. Self promotion is pretty terrible for a link aggregation site. You used to be limited in the ratio of what you could post between yours and other content. Then The Other Site decided it was social media. Now you want here to be social media too. No thanks 👍
No, it isn’t. Because, crucially, you’re not supposed to care who the other people are. By your definition if ‘social media’, my Geocities guest book was social media.
Nobody cares WHO posts the thing. The important part is that people post.
Link aggregation sites need links to aggregate and those links need to be posted by SOMEONE.
People who make the things being linked tend to be more likely to post the thing in the link.
I have no idea how this is controversial. Why is posting your own memes/comics worse than posting someone else’s content?
If it doesn’t matter who posts it then there’s literally no difference here except that more content is posted to Lemmy when the comic authors themselves are on the platform.

You can see exactly why in this very comment chain, people talking about organising followers to boost things etc
The point of a link aggregator is not to act as veiled marketing for social media accounts or cosplays. Posting your own shit is 9 times out of 10 just promotional crap. Like this. Lemmy doesn’t need content that exists primarily to drive traffic elsewhere, or shit content for the sake of shit content.
Comic artists have a big interest in creating consistent quality content… Because it’s like their whole job…
While not everyone has the same tastes, so some comics (like this one for example) aren’t something everyone wants to see, it’s better for the creator to be here posting it so the individual user can just block her and never see them again. With the creator posting them they all come from the same source vs with random people posting where you have to stamp out each individual one.
If she joined Lemmy then I could block her account and I wouldn’t have to see her comics (as I did on Reddit). As it stands I don’t really want to block OPs account since they post and comment lots of different stuff. It’s nice to be able to block a specific creator from their own account rather than play whack-a-mole with freebooters.
And before people start saying I’m misogynist or something, I’m not. There are plenty of women webcomic artists I like. Extraordinary Comics and War and Peas just to name a couple. I just find pizzacake to be incredibly boring, low hanging fruit and barely even funny at all. Not trying to hurt feelings, I just don’t like her stuff and prefer to block it from my feed.
Same. There isn’t a single pizzacake comic in my folders and never will be. They’re just not good. Every single one is painfully low hanging fruit. Like this “joke” would be used in a half second throwaway gag on a sitcom. It’s not strong enough for a comic. But that’s like… Every comic Pizzacake makes. That or half of her comics are just her complaining about something.
I bet you would have assumed I am a misogynist if I hadn’t mentioned it at all in my initial comment above. Something about this comic artist specifically just brings out the most rabid mental gymnastics in people. As I said, I know that she encourages this behaviour too. Before I blocked her on Reddit I remember seeing a few of her comics where the “joke” was literally just “haha look at how dumb and sexist my haters are”
I wouldn’t have thought twice if you didn’t make that point. IDGAF if you’re a fan of the comic artist or style. I’m not a huge fan of this comic but it’s cute and her ability to create as much as she does makes me respect her. I am a fan of the newspaper style comic strip format, she does it very well.
People get rapid about her because they like her and her product.
You bringing up misogyny says everything about YOU.
You don’t want people to go there? Don’t start the process.
The process was started when a pizzacake comic was posted. Pizzacake and their fans are notorious for calling someone sexist or misogynistic just because they don’t like her comics. You have just proven that point.
I get what you’re saying but I don’t agree in this context. Especially when it’s what pizza cake is known for. If you don’t say you’re not something, then you’ll be called something anyway. That’s probably what the commenter was saying. With that being said, just because someone says I’m not sexist doesn’t automatically make them sexist believe it or not. If you don’t not know the person and you’ve never seen how they interact with people and you’re going off of one sentence, that’s not very reasonable, don’t you think? There’s a difference between saying I’m not sexist but I don’t like women and I’m not sexist but I don’t like her comics. In the eyes of pizza cake fans, it’s the same thing.
As the OP, I appreciate not being blocked. I’m definitely not trying to freeboot or anything. My main goal with my entire account is to just boost the engagement on Lemmy in general and pizzacake is a creator a lot of people enjoy despite the comics being fine (generally the easiest option with every punchline).
More people using Lemmy consistently means we’re more likely to grow as a platform which will in turn improve other areas and so on and so forth. Especially with this being an open source project, more users means more people willing/able to help on the codebase itself so the entire platform improves as a result.
Ultimately I agree with you that her joining herself would be better because you can just block her and be done with it. Her popularity would also probably bring engagement and yada yada as previously said.
Realistically I’ll probably just not post her comics in the future since I hadn’t heard about the annoying critic bashing stuff she did and I don’t care enough about her work to try and hold on past annoying stuff.
I def wish more artists(like Pizzacake) would join. I check r/comics often on Libreddit and its nice to see them interact and a good way to find new underrated creators.
This is me with my Dactyl Manuform keyboard. I have been putting off the hand wiring for over a year now. I actually got another keyboard kit to “hold me over” until I figure out a better way.
I imagine it would be somewhat like coming to on the elevator in Severance. The vacuum would be your innie experience with zero concept of the world outside.
The problem is I have so many tabs that I’ll never open again either. Eventually I close a window to start fresh whatever the purpose of that window was for.
