A comm to post the cutest pics/videos/links/stories you can find, and that’s pretty much it. Could be pets, wild animals, people, happy stories, etc. It will be a designated positive space and positivity/kindness will be continuously enforced in order to keep it that way. I would be happy to mod it and add anyone else who is qualified and interested. Ultimate goal of the comm is to provide balance to the negative stuff we’re used to seeing and put content on the front page that can brighten someone’s day.

    I imagine /c/cute or /c/ute being much more visual (pics and videos) and specifically focused on cute things. Stories wouldn’t be disallowed, but they’d have to be cute specifically. Example of the potential difference:

    Bloomer story: “Organizer overcomes challenges to form local Starbucks workers union”

    Cute story: “Baby sloth celebrates first birthday with watermelon party”

    That’s kind of a silly example, but I hope the difference is clear. Bloomer focuses on positive real life stuff that lifts people’s spirits. Cute would primarily be cute pics, videos, etc. that make people happy. They’d both share the goal of positivity, but they’d go about it in a completely different way.

    EDIT: Thinking about it more this morning, I think I’d want to also promote /c/bloomer and /c/pets as sister comms since they have a similar vibe.
