I propose adding :
Rule #2 : Posts have to include scientific stuff with a related credible source.

I'm not sure I agree, as that would turn it into an exclusively science news community. A more general science discussion forum is admittedly much more demanding to moderate, but also opens things up for more activity.

Like, what if someone finds a funny clip from some flat earther or something, and wants to post it here for general amusement value, knowing it'd probably not do any actual harm here?

Either keep it more general, or split out popsci / science news community. Personally I'd only do that if there's a lot of content posted.
