Fact-Based Sources

Posts should be from fact-based sources. Before submitting, please use a site like Media Bias Fact Check, AllSides, or Ad Fontes Media. If it's skewed heavily to one side, has a low credibility rating, or is an opinion piece masquerading as news, then the post will likely be removed. The same applies if the domain is not ranked or if content is obviously AI-generated.

Photography, illustrations, and artwork should be used to illustrate the beauty of our great state. Photos of political signs, selfies, t-shirts, illegal activities, and other non-nature items will likely be removed. Photographs must include a general location in the title, e.g. "Beautiful Sunset in Grand Haven, MI".
