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.

      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.
