Hi all. Welcome to the Lemmy c/Portland.

I've been on federated sites for awhile, and tried to mod this community awhile back, but adoption had been slow and I let it sit.

As such, it's available for us to make it whatever you want. Please make sure to follow the lemmy.ml rules.

I also humbly request we attempt to not fall into some of the issues with r/Portland where it devolves into a crime blog/NextDoor-like space or become a platform for some of the local PACs to push their agendas (on any side).

Lets just be neighborly and if we disagree, then we'll work it out. If the place takes off, then we'll work together to codify more custom ground rules for discussion.

With that said, howdy neighbors.

Yeah, /r/portland can be pretty rough at times. Glad that there is a community here; thanks for starting that up.

/r/portland, where taxes on high income earners is literally oppressing the middle class.

It would be cool to have a place that doesn't represent the "very liberal" politics of the city, if you know what I mean

Definitely not like r/PortlandOR, yikes!

I was always under the impression that that is why PortlandOR was created. More of the conservative/right "free speech" version or Portland.
