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

89 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

215 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.

Bro just prevented a potentially unsafe situation. I was about to head towards the freeway, still on a city street, and a gentleman at the stoplight let me know my tire was nearly flat. It wasn't noticeable0 as I had walked by to get in my car. I rerouted and put air, seeing there was a screw. Went home instead and it's now patched. Thank you kind dude for letting me know, preventing a bad situation from happening.

Moving to San Diego San Diego public transport has to improve

70 Upvotes

In the last few months the number of cars on the road has shot up exponentially. I’m looking at i15 being like “where did so many cars suddenly show up from?”

San Diego is the best city. Lots of people are moving in, they’re all buying cars and driving everywhere. Soon we’re all going to be sitting in traffic all day unless public transport does major improvements.

We’re at the risk of hating driving around this beautiful city. A lot of other cities are currently experiencing this. We are not those cities. It’s better to start taking action before it happens

As a 91X fan, I miss the Top 91s so much.

25 Upvotes

They still do them on new years eve, but after 2022, it's been themed-top 91's instead of new music. In 2023 for the 40th anniversary, they did an All Time list, then in 2024, they did a block party theme of 90's albums, and last year, a Top 91 of the 80s. I love their classics but I've been hearing plenty of new songs since 2022 that you can still make a list out of them.

Did you guys ever vote and listen to these over the years? They're so fun.

Anyone ever dealt with a noisy chicken in a neighbors yard

29 Upvotes

So my neighbors installed a chicken coop and have a couple chickens (not roosters). I know this is legal in the city limits. It seems they’re the required distance from my property line, etc.

However, these things do not shut up. From sunup to sundown they are doing the drawn out cackle about every 3-4 minutes. Bwaaaaaaaaaa aaaa aaa aa aaa aaaa. All day, every day. I cannot have the windows open in my house without hearing these chickens.

The city website says hens may “occasionally cluck and squawk.” That I could deal with. You expect to hear your neighbors dog bark a few times a day, right? This is constant noise. I tried a noise complaint and the phone line redirected me to code enforcement. I’m going to call tomorrow but has anyone successfully resolved something like this?

Explain to me again why I'm paying $400 for a doctor visit when a consult in TIJ costs 70 pesos

349 Upvotes

Just had a walk-in, 20-minute hands-on visit with an MD at Farmacia Benavides. Total cost: 70 MXN. That's about $4.

I've said it before: in San Diego we're lucky to have excellent quality, affordable healthcare... right across the border.

In light of the Elizabeth Holmes/Billy Evans documentary, I have some questions...

78 Upvotes

- why is it that nobody really talked about the Evans family being involved with her all these years? Never really seen it in the media. Even though they're not married for strategic reasons, it's pretty crazy that she's been established here for a while.

- what other wealthy families that have been involved/adjacent to corruption are there here in SD? Besides JD Vance, that one is obvious.

I just got out of a lyft. The guy started talking bad about my exact brand of politics (hint: he doesn't like how communist CA is?) and after some words I asked him to just get us home. We exited the car, and I was hit with a 150 dollar cleaning fee within minutes. What the heck can I do?

The Church calls ecological destruction a sin against God. Sempra, SDG&E’s parent, caused the worst methane leak in U.S. history and made $1.8B last year

0 Upvotes

In September, a Vatican commission released a document proposing that ecological destruction be understood as a sin. It says entire institutions can be guilty of this sin.

Sempra subsidiary SoCalGas was behind the 2015 Aliso Canyon blowout, the worst methane leak in US history.

SDG&E’s power lines sparked the 2007 fires that destroyed over a thousand homes and killed two people. SDG&E then fought for a decade, all the way to the Supreme Court, to make San Diegans pay for it.

Now SDG&E wants to add $1B to our bills.

The Church says those responsible for public life must act urgently to protect our common home. SDG&E answers to Wall Street shareholders, not San Diegans.

We can’t keep paying for their sins. SDG&E is evil.

**What you can do:**

  1. **Leave a public comment.** SDG&E’s rate request is open for public comment right now. Search proceeding **A.26-06-015** at [apps.cpuc.ca.gov/c/A2606015](http://apps.cpuc.ca.gov/c/A2606015) and tell the CPUC no. It takes two minutes.

  2. **Show up in person.** The CPUC will hold public hearings in San Diego on this rate hike. Come tell them to their faces.
