[META] Looking for moderators. (lemmy.world)

Hi all, I’m currently the only mod here and I’ve sadly had to be less active given sizable real life responsibilities. So posting here to see if anyone is up for assisting in mod management? It's still pretty small right now but having the post for later could be good for future approvals, at least while it's smaller.

If anyone’s interested just comment below and I can get things approved from there, Preferably say any experience you have if applicable.

Otters make terrible pets (lemmy.world)

If you love otters, which we presume you do because you are on this community, we hope that you'll understand that otters are best kept in the wild. Posts that show otters as pets, or as entertainment in "otter cafes", are promoting a new exotic pet craze that is actively encouraging poachers to illegally hunt/trap otters, kill/separate them from their parents and sell them to the public. Very not cool.

Also, Otters make abysmal pets. Really.

So, let's not encourage poaching!

  • Posts depicting otter cafes or otters being kept as pets are not allowed and will be removed.

  • Feel free to reach out with any questions etc. Thanks for helping keep otters wild!

  • Edit: Zoos / other qualified wildlife rehabilitation center otters are cool
