    I’d strongly suggest Wisdom and secondarily Charisma.

    You posting the edited comics as a comment response to other people posting the normally attributed ones is hilarious, and you probably could have pushed your contreversial idea about advertisement that way and just become the community’s resident weirdo (meant positively).

    Instead, you lacked the wisdom to see the obvious ways your opinions about advertising don’t align with most people, and the key differences that at least most people recognize between corporate ads and individual artists signing their work.

    INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit, WIS is knowing it doesn’t belong in a fruit salad.

    Then you lacked the charisma to handle the disagreement in a way that didn’t make people even more upset with you.

    I’d suggest that luck really only impacted how long you got to post the edited comics before the community caught on.


    All that said, I agree it’s some shit that this all is spilling over on your sourced and unedited non-comic posts. You’ve been… ok outside of the edited comics and the contreversial take on attribution. I still think you’ve been interacting with the comics community intentionally in bad faith, but the rest has been pretty standard, just with shitpost-esque comments when people start coming down on you. That’s not a crime, that’s banter.

    And it’s hilarious watching people fall for the most obvious trolling I’ve seen in a long time.


    I mean, I enjoy the antics of the user qrstuv on the sdf lemmy instance, and they run a “news” community with vague inconsisent rules where you’re nearly guaranteed to get banned for commenting anything at all. They then opened a community called “mod abuse hotline” on the same instance and end up catching people complaining about their ban from his news community… not realizing they’re complaining to the very same guy. So qrstuv and a few others tend to cryptically tease the complainer and that’s that.

    It’s weird, kinda mean, and funny. And now that you’ve slowed down to two easily downvote-able and hide-able edited comic posts a day, and usually link to the source, this qrstuv guy is doing more “bad” behavior than you. So I’m not a fan of the witch hunty shit following you to your “not bad” posts.

    But a key part of qrstuv’s schtick is that it’s done in communities that qrstuv runs. They aren’t going into someone else’s community and pulling shit. That’s why I suggested that you create your own communities. You can set your own rules, ban the serial downvoters that want to punish you in unrelated contexts, and potentially grow to be just one of the slew of weird personalities on lemmy.
