I think maybe a little more clarity would be helpful as to what constitutes a widely reputable source, and which are not allowed.

    I would say open it up, since it's not super active right now as is. I can also help moderate, just let me know if there's anything I need to do other than removing outright spam.

      It's your sub, you don't need my blessing. But since you asked...

      Does this sub need to be "super active"? Are you presenting information or building a community?

      Perhaps you might ask the sidebox related subs if you could co-mod them too? Maybe invite them to co-mod this as well. Also related: /s/farming, /s/gardening, /s/microgrowery, /s/psychedelics

      IMO, it would be better if you kept the thing about wanting "legit" media coverage - except instead of a hard rule, say that it's "preferred but not a strict rule". I still think it's worth aiming high. (I said "high".)

      I am not a moderator of other people, but if I see shit on SaidIt, in my sub or in others', I'll speak up and even call for Daddy M7 to deal with it.

      I would consider joining for a bit to add a banner or CSS or whatever you wish - but not until after I do some other things.

      Besides, I'm at the stupid arbitrary max limit of 40 subs that M7 set a while back to avoid power mods.

      I suppose I could eject from some, and I will when I get help from M7 or D3 to finish my CSS themes for good. But that's not a priority for me right now. I'm redoing my basement for a server/archive room and year-round garden. I take occasional breaks on SaidIt. After that I need to finish my "epic" story. Then I can dedicate some time to SaidIt CSS, WikiSpooks, and my own stuff. I also have nearly 500 messages I haven't gotten to that I feel guilty about.

      I'm not opposed to this, but I think it comes back again to how do you define "legit" media coverage?

      "Legit" from the 5 corporate monopolies that control over 90% of the "mainstream" media. Or check with Wikipedia on who is "legit".

      It also would be worth noting WHY the sub is even bothering to do this: To present information that even the most anti-fringe person can't frown upon.
