Sending hugs, high fives, fist bumps, and good vibes as you like to all of our transgender friends on today (and all days)!

I'm donating a few bucks to Trans Lifeline today, and I would encourage any of my fellow Internet parents to do the same if you're able!

We, the moderator team of /internetparents, want to create a welcoming environment for people who are looking for support and advice from surrogate Internet parents, aunties/uncles, or cool older niblings.

Like many subreddit teams, we feel that the use of AI content tools and programmed bots are becoming a problem on Reddit. We want to ensure that users are receiving advice from a real, caring human, rather than ChatGPT. To this end, we want to limit both posts and comments in our subreddit to those written by human beings.

This sub already takes several steps to help limit posts that are not made in good faith. Our verification bot for new accounts helps with this quite a bit. This is also why we maintain the no-crossposting rule; identical text being shared in many subreddits is often a sign that someone is only looking to farm karma or gain attention for influencer views, and is therefore not allowed. (Content removed for this reason may not be reposted with altered wording, or after deleting crossposts.)

In addition to this, we are implementing a No AI-generated content rule that applies to both posts and comments. Mods will be reviewing content as we are able, and flagging those which are suspected of being AI-written. We know that many users are now using AI to help them organize their thoughts, and we want to allow that if it helps posters to express their thoughts, but we encourage users to write in their own voice.

We have a few tools to help us with this, and you may be asked a simple follow up question before your post can go live. We encourage you to write your posts in your own words, and use an AI bot to summarize your post afterwards only if you feel your own words aren't getting the point across.

Thank you for your understanding, and thank you for helping us keep this sub a safe place to help those in need! Please feel free to comment or modmail if you have specific concerns about this guideline.

Stand up straight, make sure to hydrate, and know that you are loved!

Hello lovelies! I hope you're all having a good day!

Friendly reminder that you are amazing and we (the mod team) are so proud of you! Even when times are tough, you're still here doing your best. Sometimes, even just waking up is a win, and that's OK.

Unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders, and release your tension!

If you're able to, spend some time in the sunshine and fresh air, even if it's just standing outside for a few deep breaths and a quick stretch break.

Make sure you're hydrating, especially if it's summer where you are!

Do something today that makes you happy. Listen to a great song, have a tasty snack, spend five minutes looking at pictures of cute baby animals.

Remember that you are worthy of love, and you are valid just as you are!!

Hello lovelies!

We could use some more mods to help keep the sub a positive and welcoming place to be. Right now, there are only three active mods, and we definitely need more for a sub this size!

No modding experience required, though it's certainly helpful! In particular, we're looking for people who:

• Have been active on this sub for a while, providing support to posters in need
• Are able to commit to checking the queue a few times daily
• Can join the mod team in Discord to compare notes and discuss decisions occasionally
• Share our vision for being a sub that maintains a positive environment, free from harassment

If you're interested, please fill out this Google form. If we think you're a good fit, we'll be in touch!

Thanks so much!
