    Imagine downvoting a comic from a very annoying artist that many people have gone to lengths to avoid.

    Pizzacake is the only person I’ve blocked on Reddit because I was sick of all the drama that arose whenever she posted anything. Now her content is following me here to the Fediverse, and the drama too - when I explained my dislike over on this comic communty I got accused of being the one who was “stalking”. It’s like there’s something in the water whenever her comics show up.

      Some people fiercely defend pizzacake against any and all criticism, I just think the comics suck

      If you didn’t comment on every single one of these posts whining about how you “can’t get away”, you wouldn’t be accused of anything.

        It’s showed up in two different communities that I’m subscribed to. I commented in one of those and that’s when I got accused of “whining.” This is the second community I’m subscribed to where it showed up, and I commented about the other comment I made about it here. The two communities are about completely different subjects.

        The instance I’m on shows me where it’s been crossposted to, there’s at least four other communities it’s in. I didn’t comment on any of those since I’m not subscribed there.

        But yeah, I’m the one who’s stalking.

          And you’re still whining about it as if the comic is deliberately targeting you, that you just can’t help but make those comments about how these comics get so many people complaining about them, just like you’re doing. You could ignore it and move on, but here you are, part of the very thing you “hate”.

                Really? That wouldn’t be more “whining?”

                It’s pretty simple, though. I complained about the comic, you complained about me complaining about the comic. If one of those is a problem then surely the other is too. If the solution for me is to just shut up and endure it, that’s your solution too.

                Personally, I think a position of “can we please not turn the Fediverse into an echo of Reddit” is more appropriate here than a position of “stop complaining about the Fediverse turning into an echo of Reddit”. But you do you I guess. It’s a free community.

                  Lol, I’m not “complaining about you complaining”. I’m pointing out the delusion of whining about not being able to “get away” from something that you have chosen to engage with of your own volition multiple times, and the hypocrisy of being upset by the state of the comments that you yourself are contributing to.

      Is someone forcing you to spread this drama?
