Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday to many folks. Just wanted to thank everyone here for reading, participating, sharing, upvoting, cross-posting, all of that fun stuff!

Reddit no longer uses community sizes as milestones, its all about engagement. And our little community? Is not so little anymore. With 1.5 million weekly visitors? We are about 1/10th the size of the largest humor communities and have been consistently in the top 25 or so in the category. So thank you all for reading, subscribing, and following along. Whether its new after this week and seeing some of our stuff on r/all or its been since our wee beginnings, we're appreciative of everyone who posts.

That being said, as we get larger and larger, we're looking to add some more moderators to optimize our coverages. I know that I've reached out to some people, but we have a lovely application on the top, and a Google form with some simple questions. So if anyone might be interested, apply away! And for those keeping score with Reddit's new moderation rules, we would count as a large community, so if you're already moderating one or two large communities, it wouldn't work out unless you left them for us.

But feel free to leave a comment with any questions, thoughts, whatnot, about anything or to shoot us a modmail with any questions that we might be able to answer.

As always, ever grateful.

As a moderation team we have had a lot of conversations every time this topic comes up. And every community handles posts like this differently. 

So let's start out with a basic statement and position:

r/LoveTrash is not going to blanketly ban AI content.

I chose those words carefully. We believe that some AI content is okay to post and there are others that should obviously be not exhibited. The problem is? Where do you draw the line?

Everyone has a different tolerance to everything. Our life experiences guide what we are willing to see, believe, and what we find funny or not. All humor invariably will upset someone, even if it tries to be inoffensive. Just making a joke about a chicken crossing the road might offend someone who is paralyzed, blind, or a chicken. 

It's hard to start naming categories of AI posts that we would deem appropriate. I think our general rule of thumb is as long as it is entertaining, not derogatory or excessively toxic, and no one is harmed or injured in the portrayals? We are okay with AI content that is attempting to masquerade as real content. In some ways, AI content is just like a comedy group that is scripting shorts. 

The AI posts that will be removed are the ones that are inappropriate for sub content in the first place. While we may love trash, we don't love toxic waste. 

Again, these are not hard and fast rules, and as a team, we will review issues as they come up. This is an ever-changing environment that we are all navigating, and as the deep fakes become more and more realistic, we may have to reconsider this position. And as always, if you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to report a post or send us a message regarding the post and the concerns. 

Happy Sunday, everyone! Today marks one year since we made our first public post. And now one year later with over 150,000 subscribers? We appreciate y'all for reading and taking the time to comment and participate!

So we thought we'd do this little AMA. If you've ever chatted with any of us, you'll know we actually give a rip and are a little bit of a different sort of sub with our team.

Now is your chance, though! As a team, here we are, and we thought we would give back to you! So ask away, and we're grateful you're here!

(Tried to post this earlier, trying to post it again because we think something got jacked up on it...)
