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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Unfortunately it is only barely better in the EU, and not just because we use the same trashy US services. On the 14th of October the EU parliament decides about chatcontrol, and it doesn't look too good right now. They're close to completely eradicating trust of communication.
They're close to destroying EU software trust. Everyone will just move on. Apps like Telegram who are not EU based are already spiking
Lol, as if Telegram was even remotely better or would not bow to the EU.
I think the only safe bets would either be software that's rather safe due to it's FOSS nature (with servers outside of the EU), or those who simply do not give a shit. There's als Signal clearly stating that if the EU does this their app will become unavailable, as they'd rather stop releasing their software to people than collaborating in surveillance and breaking their own secure protocol in some way.
Not to mention chatcontrol literally breaks both basic EU law, human rights as well as most national constitutions. They'd still try though, obviously. It would indeed shatter the current high trust in EU software.
