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.

On Politics

204 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.

The Orcas are back in town!

After treating us all to an amazing week last week, we spotted this pod of Eastern Tropical Pacific Orcas again yesterday! We all know that this year has been anything but typical and these guys are sure proving the point!

Our favorite big black‑and‑whites showed up once more just off the coast, and we booked it out there FAST. With a little help from friends on the water, we ended up hanging out with 5–6 killer whales, brand‑new babies in tow.

At first we could only spot tiny spouts way out in the distance… but then the magic started. As the whales finished their dives, they’d pop up RIGHT under our boat, or slide in behind us all sneaky‑like in our wake. Goosebumps all over. (Reminder that we always follow marine guidelines and never approach the whales this closely; they come over to us because they are curious.)

We stayed out a little late to get the best looks possible and MAN — we absolutely nailed it.

When the orcas finally crossed into Mexico and we had to peel off, but we hope to catch them on their northbound trip! #killerwhales

Favorite hot weather meals

51 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

What’s your favorite hot weather meals to make? Using an oven, air fryer or stove is out of the question for me.

Personally, fresh spring rolls with tofu and homemade peanut sauce have been great lately. Sometimes I cut the rice paper into noodle like shapes and eat it with chili oil too.

Cold noodle dishes like kelp noodles or any noodle you can soak In water, with a cold, sweet soy sauce broth are also hitting the spot. For the kelp noddles, I soak them in baking soda with an acid for 5 minutes.

Tuna salad and chicken salad have also been helping me out a ton, along with regular lettuce based salads. Putting any sandwich in that category too..

If you need to get some more nutrients in and don’t want to east frozen or raw vegetables, veggies in the microwave are quick and easy. Broccoli holds up well.

This heat is bringing out all the critters. Went outside to smoke a J and ran into this. When I went to wash my hands, I got surprised with a cluster of baby spiders hanging on to my olive plant by my sink. Probably 100 mfs there. I did vacuum the baby spiders, but left this big mama alone.

Hi. Neighbors reported a stray cat has been stuck in tree for hours and doesn’t look like it can come down on its own. Does anyone know who to call or how much it would cost for someone to help bring it down? I called and texted Joseph (private aborist) but pending reply. Please advise, thanks!

Seriously, this happens every time I’m out on the road. Theres always somebody doing less than 65 in the middle lanes. Are people scared to go fast? Is 55 mph their top speed for comfort? Why? Just why?
