That’s her biggest platform by far, so I think what they said is fair game. Does Mastodon never talk about what happens on Twitter or BlueSky? The fact Reddit is a cesspool doesn’t mean we should pretend it doesn’t exist.
But we’re not…? Someone just asked “what’s the drama?” and someone matter-of-factly said what the drama is. What makes you think anything here is imitating Reddit?
Bringing pizzacake to Lemmy and not expecting her sycophants to follow is like stealing a block of cheese from a rat and not expecting it to follow you.
I’m not making prescriptions, man, I’m just telling you how people use the word. You have to think about how people use hyperbole.
Mid is often used in reference to things that are culturally popular, and so is a way to denigrate them. In that way, the person is saying “actually, Marvel’s not that good,” or “eh, it’s not really worth your time,” or “you seem kinda stupid for liking trash media so much.”
In other contexts, ‘mid’ can mean ‘average’ just fine: “Not good, not bad. Worth one go around, maybe.” That’s why I said it does and it doesn’t.
her comics are
midmediocre and you will catch a ban if you say that in r/comicsI wasn’t aware we’re bringing Reddit dramas to fester on Lemmy

It doesn’t mean we should imitate them either

The rest of the comments under the post? Like half of them are recreating the same drama all over
Calling her comics mid as fuck? I mean they are, but that isn’t “drama”.

I’ll try not to let it happen again.
To be fair “your comic sucks” is kind of a dickish thing to comment.
Excuse me, I thought mid meant something along the lines of mediocre, not suck.
It does.
And you were correct
I’m being hyperbolic.
OK. I’m not being hyperbolic.
It does and doesn’t.
It means ‘middle’, but to be ‘middle’ in a world of greats is to be lame and worth very little.
Think about it this way: when someone says something sucks, no one ever corrects them “nah, it’s mid,” like in a positive way.
It wasn’t intended to be either a slight or a compliment.
If you ain’t first, you’re last? Nah. That don’t make no sense.

People are reading something into it that I didn’t intend, so I changed it. I’m not arguing about how other people use it or saying you are wrong.
Its kind of a dick move to start writing hate comments under a comic that you find mildy displeasing.
Yeah, if you have like… actual constructive feedback go for it, but “this is mid/low effort” really isn’t helpful
Yeah, I agree.
