You all have spoken, and we have listened. The team and I, as well as Lemmy.world Admins, have come to an agreement that any artist/comic that is deemed to be transphobic, racist, or in any other way demonstrates bigotry toward any group or minority will be removed from circulation. We will keep a list of banned artists in the sidebar and update it as new artists are uncovered.

Now, let’s discuss details:

1. You the reporter have the burden of proof for why an artist or comic breaks this rule; ¸ “they’re fascist/racist/sexist/it’s Tuesday” is not sufficient
2. Repeated posting of banned artists will result in progressive punishment/moderated actions, up to being permanently banned
3. Think Paradox of Tolerance when determining what bigotry means; e.g.,
   • Demeaning conservatives or other politicians (e.g., Devil’s Panties) is not rule breaking
   • Demeaning women, the LGBTQ+ community, etc is rule breaking
   • Anything we consider to be a bad faith post, or trying to skirt the rules because of some perceived loophole

The current list of banned artists include:

1. Jago
2. Stonetoss

This is not an all-encompassing list, and are subject to moderator’s (and admin’s) final decisions. Questions, feedback, and playful banter are always welcome.
