Greetings all! Already, some people have expressed distaste at the use of AI-art in the profile picture of the comm -- great start to my role as mod, I'm sure.

I have deep beliefs about running communities democratically (when I'm not pushing my own agenda), so I thought I'd set up a vote. And yes, if you vote for LabyMcLab Face, that's what we'll go with -- though, if I keep up on running this community there will be another vote eventually and something else can be picked.

This post is not for the vote, but rather a call for Profile and Banner Submissions. Please nominate images in the comments here.

I will exert a very small amount of influence by asserting that the image must be safe for work, and I will make the default rank of any image unrelated to science below and excluded from the lottery option in the vote (we'll talk more about how voting works on the voting post). My first day as mod and I'm already exercising executive privileges. What would my mother think...

I'd like to nominate a meme of the month banner where we nominate a meme the first week of the month and vote the second week month. We can add the meme to the start of the banner and push the other ones over until they fall off. This will give me the opportunity to teach the comm about democracy while giving you all the opportunity to do whatever normal people do with memes.
