I need to add to this that blocking is not the answer. Actively down vote if your instance allows. The practices discussed here passively harm artists.

      Guys, look! He’s so cool! It was a post about how much of a dickhead he is and he still upvoted, what a Madlad(inc)! Even taking a stand against all those invasive ads like uhhhh… an artist’s signature on their own artwork. It’s basically the same thing as those overly sexual ads for dishonest mobile games cramming themselves into videos made for kids, amirite??? He definitely understands the ethical principles of advertising without lazy hasty generalizations.

      Also, it’s such a great idea to comment on a post about your own shitty behavior. No one takes that opportunity to look at your profile to verify the behavior themselves. And it’s not like when you comment to identify yourself that you give a convenient link for everyone to block you without having to look you up. Truly some kinda 5d chess move. I tip my fedora to you m’sir.

    B__p moderates Dubai which is even more weird, the city known for its uncommercial stance on everything.

    Anyway, I’ve blocked that idiit. I ask the mods to ban them from the sub and add the rule that you are not allowed to crop out artists credits.

    I’ve been thinking, how come I see multiple people bring them up and I haven’t seen their posts myself? Turns out I’ve already blocked them at some point in the past

      That’s why I tag instead of block. Then I get to play a little game and see if I can guess which moron it is before I see the tag. Let’s see now… is this one “AI bootlicker,” “Horndog trying too hard,” “Breathing app shill,” “Is ‘nonce’ the right word,” or “absolute fucking moron?” Oh wait, it’s “credit cropping little bitch.”

        Quite frankly, I don’t care why I did it. I block people to preserve my mental health, whenever I notice that seeing someone’s replies is getting on my nerves. If that makes my Lemmy experience an echo chamber, so be it. I’d rather be stuck in my ways than have my mood ruined by words of a stranger I’ve never seen and will never meet.

          Since I adopted the mantra of ‘block early and often’ things have been much better and nothing of value has been lost.

          No, this is not politics, you are not building an echo chamber. This is about respect, and people can respectfully disagree and I won’t block them, but there’s no reason anyone should have to put up with disrespectful users. I also blocked that one user that censored every swear word in shitposts. Fuck that person too. They both shouldn’t modify people’s works without permission.

        It would be cool if we had a web of trust. So if everyone you’ve been upvoting keeps downvoting someone, then that someone’s posts are hidden by default.

        Example:

        post hidden due to poor reputation

        Here’s a long rambling story that looks like it might be interesting…
        [pages]
        … and that’s why we should expand child labor.

        I rarely block, but I tag with Voyager. That way I’m not missing any conversation, I’ll see a warning for comments likely to be disingenuous, and they don’t live rent-free in my head.

      My opinion is that blocking prevents attention to the issues at hand. The people that are just casually viewing won’t block, see a good comic, upvote, and move on.

      The real issue here is that there is a non-zero amount of these users that will save an edited comic and then share it. These posts should be proactively shamed and called out.

    I don’t know who that is, but if I could verify/clarify by looking at their post history, I’d probably block them if what you say is true… ohhhhh hey, looks like the dipshit himself commented on this very post like an edgelord and is conveniently the most downvoted comment.

    Joke with a message aside, I noticed I already had downvoted the guy multiple times before. Looks like he likes to post ai slop as well and becomes a combative baby bitch when called out. Even better, some of the ai slop uses the “hUmAn BaD” trope. And I did indeed check up on and confirm the cropping out artist credit. He’s a combative baby bitch when called out on that, too.

      he likes to post ai slop

      That’s an understatement. If they don’t crop out the artist, they’ll literally recreate a worse version of it using AI. Yeah…

      I think b__ps mum was fucked by an ad and walked out on them after realizing what a shameful disgrace they had produced.

    Not only that, but also, how am I supposed to find the artist’s other comics or the follow up if it’s a series? Reverse search? It’s incredibly stupid.
