Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!

This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I’m hoping to change that!

Unlike “other” Portland communities you may have seen “elsewhere”, I believe in a “warts and all” approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.

At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that’s all welcome as well. Let’s collectively keep Portland weird!

2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.

Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there’s only one real way to get in trouble here:

  1. Don’t attack other users.

It’s OK to go after Teargas Ted, it’s OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).

It’s NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they’re wrong, just don’t start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.
