That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I guess they want you to read the comics on their website? A quick search leads me to "gocomics." Top comment on the first C&H page:
"This'll be the last comment I ever leave on GoComics. For those who don't know, they just closed down r/calvinandhobbes due to copyright striking. Really lame and unnecessary perversion of fair use, especially in conjunction with the paywalling. Cancelling my subscription."
GoComics seems like a fine enough place to read comics. They have a lot of comics on there- aaaaaand a paywall. Yeah idk about that.
I mean, fuck 'em and all, and get your comics wherever you can -- while he was no fan of derivative works I doubt Bill Watterson would care very much about ensuring Gocomics makes any money -- but the redditors' naive indignation is misplaced.
What are you talking about, isn't this Watterson's income you're trying to "work around"?
Maybe, but we don’t know how much residual income it’s bringing him, he had a famously contentious relationship with his syndicate, he refused other streams of ancillary income for the both of them, and he ended the strip at the height of its popularity.
"was"? Watterson is still alive.
I know. “Was” was more meant to describe the era in which Bill Watterson was making public comments of any kind. Sorry for the confusion.
It appears GoComics has become more aggressive. I used to follow Garfield through a third-party RSS feed that was just a mirror of GoComics, but it recently got shut down due to DMCA.
