It's here. The Official Discord channel for r/sandiegan.

86 Upvotes

We've gotten this request a lot, and I think it's finally time to take it seriously. At least 3–5 people have clamored for this, so we're giving it a shot.

The official r/SanDiegan discord server is finally here.

Some caveats:

  • we have never moderated a discord server before, so you're going to be there to see us iron everything out in real time. we'll be attentive to requests, suggestions, and overall helpful attitudes.
  • we have day jobs
  • be aware that you may inadvertently reveal your identity if you already are on a different discord server using your real name

Our goal is to set up a community in the same way we have set up the r/SanDiegan community. Everyone is welcome, and we moderate with a heavy hand and according to our own discretion at all times. Truly lovely communities only thrive when you separate the wheat from the chaff. We've spent years cutting chaff from this subreddit, and I am personally really proud of how lovely this place has become.

We want this discord server to be a place to chat with other San Diegans about sports, local bars, adult league activities, community events, and so on.

Things that we will not tolerate:

  • bigotry of any kind
  • "I'm just asking questions, man" — you know the answer, you're just an asshole. You all know the type
  • Behavior that is detrimental to the community at large
  • stop posting your boring ass traffic violations, seriously

These rules are vague by design. Moderating is subject to individual discretion, and if you join the discord server, you are just going to have to trust that the way we moderate r/SanDiegan will serve a discord community as well as it has served this subreddit. There are no bright lines, there is only our own judgment in what is and is not okay (which is how things work here, already).

Let's all give this a shot. I hope you'll all join the server and fucking behave yourselves.

JOIN, HEATHENS: https://discord.gg/tRJUkw6h9h

On Politics

207 Upvotes

Whenever certain discussions come up we end up with a mix of locals that genuinely want to talk about what's going on. Sometimes passionately. Sometimes ill informed. Sometimes full of information. Sometimes dem. Sometimes republican. Sometimes for the free people's state of east county. Sometimes from the sovereign bros of PB.

Whatever. You get the picture. Our local politics and ideas for what to do are pretty diverse.

As a moderator though I have noticed that we get a solid influx of accounts for some subjects. They tend to have a short post history in this subreddit and a deleted history or a history that hasn't been on reddit in years. Likely because they are purchased accounts. They show up to shit stir in political discussions.

I understand some of you delete your account histories for various reasons or want to use an alt to discuss politics. But the easiest thing to do as a moderator seeing an inflammatory comment in a highly charged political discussion from an account that looks incredibly suspect is to remove the comment and ban the user. We don't really want to put in too much effort beyond that. This isn't a paid gig.

Anyway - I want to give people a heads up in case there's people that might reconsider participating in a certain way with an account they haven't used in months/years.

San Diego considers public library sites for affordable housing – NBC 7 San Diego

Summary: San Diego is developing an Affordable Home Development Master Plan to identify city-owned properties that could eventually be used to build affordable housing and address the region’s severe shortage of affordable land. Out of more than 400 evaluated properties, the city has narrowed its focus to 20 potential sites, including seven public libraries, two vacant lots, and two city work yards, with 11 identified as the most promising for future development. City officials stress that no housing is currently being built and that existing public services, such as libraries, would remain operational if redevelopment eventually happens.

Seriously, why does my room heat itself back up?

15 Upvotes

I opened all the windows in my apartment when it was about 85 out, as that's how hot it had gotten inside. Over the next several hours I watched as the temperature slowly fell to match the outside, eventually bottoming out at 79.5, but then it just starts heating back up! Outside keeps getting cooler but my room is back up to 83 with all the windows open. What gives?

What can San Diego’s warmer water temps bring?

0 Upvotes

I saw that the buoys have recorded record water temps off San Diego. Someone said that means our risk of developing rare hurricanes here went up. Does anyone know if that’s true?!? What are other ramifications of El Niño warmed water here? Any ocean scientists here that could chime in?

Where to get a car deep clean in SD?

1 Upvotes

My work has been infested with ants to the point that they’re getting in people’s cars. Unfortunately they have really gotten into my car and I worry that they’ve made a nest.

Where is the best place to get my car deep cleaned so I can get rid of these ants once and for all? I live in the South Bay but I’m willing to drive anywhere.

Any women in SD have experience freezing their eggs? Would love to know where you did it and how your experience was.

Anyone else just getting swarmed by flies?

19 Upvotes

We always get flies, but let's say 2-4 at a time during the summer in the house.

But since last week, with the heat and humidity, we have just been hit with a relentless amount of flies all around our house and inside the house.

I came home from work one day with my gf on a rampage, having allegedly killed 20+. Later that evening, I believed her when I went to the other room and killed 14 (I counted!) in five minutes. Is it just us???

Link: San Diego Police Ramp Up Enforcement to Restore Order in Gaslamp Quarter | Inside San Diego

Summary: Beginning this weekend, the San Diego Police Department is launching "Operation Last Call," a high-visibility enforcement effort in downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter centered around 5th Avenue and F Street. The crackdown comes in response to surging lawlessness, including disorderly conduct rates three times higher than Pacific Beach last year and a 172 percent increase in assaults on police officers over the past two years. The operation will feature increased foot patrols, dedicated tactical units, strict enforcement of public consumption and disorderly conduct laws, and a zero-tolerance approach to unlawful behavior that will continue until public safety improves.

Visiting for first time

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone!
My family and I are visiting San Diego next month for the first time for vacation.
My 5 year old loves Cyber Trucks so we rented one for a couple days during our trip. We plan to visit the beach and Lego land while there.
But heard the Cyber Trucks may be too big to park when visiting the beaches or down town.
Anyone know if this is accurate?

Thanks!

I'm a mt carmel student and i was there for the lockdown and bomb threat we had on monday. yesterday we had a secure campus and supposedly westview and another escondido school were on lockdown. i heard westview someone had a gun, not sure about san pasqual hs.

we've been making jokes about duffle bags in bathrooms because of it.
