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.

I don't know where you got that opinion from. An echo chamber is an echo chamber and I think it's a shame regardless of which flavour it is.
I'm here for open debate and freedom of expression, knowing that will mean having to see and read things I don't like every now and again.
If other people want to block other users up to the point there's no one else that has a different opinion to them, then they absolutely can do that but I thinks it's just being an ostrich that sticks it's head in the sand.
Enlightened centrist?
I consider my self a lefty, but I think it's important to consider all points of view, especially when I disagree with them.
You can consider the nazi point of view (do you really need to though?) without defending nazis' right to spew their bullshit.
And let's face it, even if lemmy was 100% leftists, the rest of the world is fascist as fuck so it'll never be an echo chamber.
The only speech I don't defend is hate speech. Everything else must be fair game, no matter how much I personally don't like it or how much I disagree.
