“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome.
* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Yeap, I've already commented a lot about this earlier today (well, yesterday), which one can read via direct link or Lemm.ee-formatted link.
The timing on all this is particularly awkward for me, as I'm dealing with a serious new health issue these days. Still, I expect to have more to say when I'm able.
Hey fam, I saw your note to me in the other discussion thread, but then slrpnk.net (my main account's instance) crashed and that item got locked.
Sorry to hear about your worsening health issues. I hope everything works out as best it can.
I'm sorry to hear about the health issue; I hope that you wind up getting better.
Wow, really sorry to read it's due to burnout. Thanks for everything though.
Oh, I'm not the admin suffering burnout; I'm just adding a post in the lemm.ee communities that I subscribe to that haven't already had the mods or other users make a post. If nobody posts anything in the community before the instance goes down, what I believe will otherwise happen, based on what I've seen with prior instances going down, is that for users with other home instances, it'll just look like this community has no traffic and one can't post to it, which looks confusing.
I see, thanks for the clarification! It wasn't possible to comment there, so I commented here.
Wow, really sorry to read it’s due to burnout.
Just to clarify, yes-- I guess it's 'burnout' in a general sense, but from everything I saw, the instance-runner did an absolutely top-notch job running the place. I also get the sense that the little admin staff did a fine job, too. With everything in place, Lemm.ee could have gone for years and years, I reckon.
So what was the actual problem? From what I gather, it was essentially too many toxic and trouble-making users, sadly. Dealing with that stuff is notoriously a grueling, even depressing, even traumatic kind of slog that every major social media place has to deal with, but at least with larger places, they can afford to pay staff to deal with it, and replace them as necessary, such that the average user barely sees the problem. Not to mention, as we're seeing with Reddit, AI is increasingly used to deal with this stuff, sometimes speciously banning users for little or no good cause.
As I see it, the Fediverse is supposed to be a kind haven and remedy to draconian management, and yet still has to find a way to deal with the legions of trolls, assholes & troublemakers. I guess we'll see how that goes...
