‘Sealioning’ is the word that sums up why Twitter discussion is so unbearable

    When the comment chain goes on long enough, there is no more audience.

      Depends. If it’s a subject I feel strongly about I’ll go down the whole damn chain upvoting and downvoting as applicable.

        Addendum: when a comment chain goes on long enough in both length and time since the original post, there is no more audience.

        At which point the sea lioning has been obvious. You’re not going to see the person you disagree with getting the “last word” and think they “won”.

          Nah. It almost always devolves into one person making an effort while the other’s just being an ass.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

  • The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author’s website, for instance).
  • The comic must be a complete story.
  • If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
  • You may post comics from others or your own.
  • If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
  • The comic can be in any language, but if it’s not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post’s ‘body’ field (note: you don’t need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
  • Politeness.
  • Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
