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.

      In general, I agree. But in this case, my opinion (and I am open to suggestions here) is that it needs to be called to attention because the sole mod is Inactive. This troll’s actions cause passive harm to artists.

      It isn’t just being a troll in comments. For that? Sure, whatever. But when it can cause actual harm to artists? I take issue there.

      I get that “harm” here is kind of subjective. Artists make pennies on click (at most, and that’s if they are relatively successful).

      Making the comics less discoverable is more than a slight, imo.
