Rule updates and some other stuff!
Hello everyone!
I hope you all have been doing well this past year! I know I have kind of neglected /c/birding a little bit, but I am still here (somewhat, at any rate).
I have updated the rules a bit to make them a bit clearer and also because I have noticed that some people have (probably unknowingly) posted AI-generated content, so I have added a rule that explicitly prohibits the posting of such content. Please review the new rules and feel free to suggest something if you feel like I have missed something or worded something badly! :-)
I will also be adding another mod soon that I feel like should help keep /c/birding a bit more tidy in the future as I don't really actively use Lemmy anymore. It's someone I know who's mostly active on Mastodon but he'll create an account on Lemmy and help with moderation here.
If you have any other questions, feel free to comment! I'll be monitoring this account a bit more closely again for the foreseeable future (at least until I've added the new mod).
My bad on posting the AI mother bird video. In my defense, it was surprisingly lifelike. I've gotten better at identifying fakes and more cautious before reposting them from Loops. Hopefully the legit bird loops are appreciated, though, if not I'll stop crossposting
Don’t worry about it! I think birdie made it clear in the rules that it’s become very difficult to tell if something is AI-generated or not and I certainly won’t swing the ban hammer immediately if someone posts something AI-generated. I had to look twice before realising what you posted was AI-generated too! It happens! v
You’re more than welcome to continue crossposting bird content from Loops, I’m looking forward to it!
Not sure why the only way to have someone appoint you as a mod is to post a comment in the community you want to become a mod of lol But hello!
Welcome!
