  • First, thanks for taking on the task of starting this community! I’m enjoying it so far and have posted a few birds myself.

    I’ve been a mod of a few subreddits, both small and large. I don’t think you need a whole lot at this stage but it might be worth putting in place some rudimentary rules so that, if you need to remove posts or comments, you can point to a rule when you do so. These can be pretty simple and obvious like:

    1. Be nice! Don’t be rude to others or your comments will be removed and you may be banned.
    2. All posts must be related to birds.
    3. If you are posting someone else’s content, provide attribution.

    Another thing that could be useful is a bot that cna label posts with the bird’s species when they are identified. I’m not sure if there are good bots that could just be dropped in place, but it might be worth looking at what is used in /r/birding.

    Are you seeing angry comments about /u/spez or hateful comments? While I can understand and condone angry comments I would hope that hateful or threatening comments are being moderated appropriately.

    I guess I don’t see “go see the titanic” memes as “hateful” given that they’re coming from a acute sense of betrayal rather than something like racism or nationalism. That’s probably because I’m angry too and see some of the distasteful comments and memes as somewhat justified in this case. I don’t post shit like that but I don’t see it as the same as the hate speech that used to come from /r/the_donald.
