So I guess I’m wondering if this community is intended to be about photography, as in the discussion of photography, or if it’s going to be like r/itookapicture was on Reddit. I absolutely don’t think that we need to replicate what they did on that other site, but those were two very different places with very different purposes. They’re both valuable, but I think that they’re valuable in different ways and it might be good to separate them from each other in some fashion.
I think setting up walls at this point, like, “You can’t share pictures here— do that over at XYZ”, will only discourage people from joining the community. Maybe as activity picks up and more people want to have a stand-alone, “critique my photo” community, then they can do that.
