(Apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this—happy to remove if needed.)
With the recent DMCA takedowns and copyright claims reportedly hitting the Calvin and Hobbes subreddit on Reddit—mainly from GoComics/Andrews McMeel—I’m wondering how calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world handles these kinds of concerns?
Reddit’s C&H sub had to purge years of shared comic panels and memes due to GoComics enforcing their rights under the DMCA. Given that Lemmy is a federated, open-source alternative with different infrastructure and visibility, I’m curious:
Does this community have a stance or policy on posting actual strips or screenshots of Calvin and Hobbes? Has anyone here run into similar DMCA threats or copyright takedowns?
Would love to hear how the mods or longtime members view this—especially as Lemmy communities grow and draw more attention.

Your comment would be better without the “Think about it like a grown up for a moment” bit, which comes across as insulting. I got a report about the comment, but think it’s better to explain what’s wrong than to just remove it.
It does, actually. Your “think like a grown-up” when I’ve not said anything immature, doesn’t seem to be in good faith, I’m afraid.
