Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

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).

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!
