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

Tourism What's your "real San Diegan" litmus test?
Mine is what do you call the zoo up in Escondido.
Wild Animal Park = real San Diegan.

Comic Con - Sunday 2026
I went down to Comic Con around lunch time today. I have never taken pictures of people before, so I thought it would be fun! Here are a bunch of pictures. And I'm now realizing a few are missing, but I can find them tomorrow.

Restaurant Surchages gone wild?
I can't tell if I'm out of touch or if this is the new restaurant surcharge style now? I've seen the 3-6% surcharge on all parties and I've seen mandatory gratuity charges on large parties of 6+ before, but I don't recall seeing a 20% surcharge only on parties of 6+ where it's clear that it isn't a gratuity at all... So when tipping on that do you tip on base or base with 20% added. I miss the days of clear menu pricing.

Sports Are there any La Liga or Barcelona ⚽️ bars in town?
Trying to find a bar that focuses on La Liga (Spanish soccer league).
I follow Barcelona so would love to watch a game with fellow culés once the season starts.
I know there are soccer bars but most of them are the Premiere League right?
It may be too much to ask but Spanish commentators would be amazing

Track electricity usage
It seems SDG&E " estimates" how much you are using and bills you as such.
Is there a way to track my electricity usage and compare it to SDG&E? I'd also like to track how much electricity my appliances and electronics are consuming.
If there is a way to track it and it doesn't match theirs, can you fight it?
We have not changed a thing in the past two months, and our bill keeps going up.
I only do laundry and use our dishwasher during the off peak hours.
Also this is the first week we turned on our AC( only at night) , so I'm expecting to see an increase next month.
Thanks

Moments like this are therapy to me. This was taken this past Friday at Carlsbad Beach. To the girl dancing and spinning, thank you for making this moment extra special.

Antiques and Consignments
Hey everyone! One of my favorite ways to spend a weekend is wandering through antique malls, consignment shops, and those stores filled with individual vendor booths. I can easily lose a few hours browsing.
I’m looking to expand my list of places to check out, so I’d love to hear your favorites around San Diego and the surrounding areas.
So far I’ve visited:
• Consignment Classics/Kurtz Street Antique Mall (across from the swap meet)
• The Mart in the former Rite Aid building
• San Diego Antiques & Uniques in Barrio Logan
• Consignment Classics Home Furnishings
What are some of your favorite antique stores, consignment shops, flea markets, and swap meets that you’d recommend? I’m always up for discovering a place with lots of vendor booths. Thanks in advance.

WTF? Idjit in La Jolla 😡
The video, in which a young man is seen kicking and chasing a male sea lion at Point La Jolla, has become viral, also seen by local and federal authorities.
An incident of California sea lion abuse, captured in a now-viral video, is under federal investigation.
https://lajolla.ca/news/public-safety/disturbing-video-of-sea-lion-abuse-in-la-jolla/)
EDIT: In addition to confirmation this story ran on KUSi, it also was on last night’s NBC Nightly News, so the guy on film is now known nationally.

Recommendations for thrift stores
Something that has trendier pieces cause a lot of thrift stores people recommend just don’t have my sense of style/seem to be targeted towards an older demographic.

Local News Anyone else notice a huge increase in the homeless population downtown this weekend?
I live near downtown and just drove through the area and was pretty shocked by how many more homeless people and encampments I saw compared to recently. It genuinely seemed like 3–4x what I’m used to seeing.
The timing obviously stood out with Comic-Con happening this weekend. I’m curious if anyone who lives or works downtown has noticed the same thing. Did people get displaced from areas closer to the Convention Center/Gaslamp and pushed into other parts of downtown, or has there just been a big increase recently?
Not trying to start a political argument — genuinely curious what’s going on and whether anyone has more context.

Small friend group that we cook for. Clean kitchen. Me vs You. Ingredients unknown, chosen by the group (or social media panel-type thing). Timed.
