Welcome to /c/spacex @ sh.itjust.works.

For now, think of this place as sort of a clone of /r/spacexlounge. Talk about what you want, just so it relates to SpaceX. Will add more moderators and actual rules if this ever takes off.

Suggestion - do not add more moderators and rules. Those are the two things that killed both r/SpaceX and r/SpaceXlounge, and the lack of those two things are the reason r/SpaceXmasterrace is unironically the best sub for actual discussion.

I think low quality memes/shitposts can go to c/spaceflightmemes, lax discussion here. No need for rules stricter than that.

I think the split between into three subreddits was necessary after SpaceX became too popular. Of course it was more fun when the community was smaller and more focused. But at a certain point, the influx of new users that would contribute with the same set of basic questions/ideas/memes (“Why doesn’t SpaceX just …”) was too large. /r/SpaceX had to act as a restrictive filter into the community.

Well, we certainly won’t need any of that here for quite some time, I assume …
