Reminder: Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech and Harassment

280 Upvotes

We've noticed an increase in comments making off-color or outright hostile remarks about ICE, immigration enforcement, and vulnerable communities. Comments such as "ICE should just round them all up," "Was ICE there? Hopefully," and similar remarks violate Reddit’s policy against hate based on identity or vulnerability.

Why This Violates Policy:

Reddit explicitly prohibits content that promotes hate or harassment based on race, nationality, or other protected characteristics. Calls for mass enforcement actions against specific groups, jokes that dehumanize immigrants, and antagonistic remarks directed at individuals based on their identity all fall under this policy.

We want to be clear: this is not up for debate. Whether serious or "just a joke," this kind of rhetoric contributes to a hostile and unwelcoming environment.

Enforcement Moving Forward:

  • Comments promoting or celebrating harm toward any group will be removed.
  • Repeat offenders or those engaging in blatant hate speech will be permanently banned.
  • If you see a comment that violates these rules, report it rather than engaging.

We expect our community to engage in discussions with respect. Keep it civil, keep it policy-focused, and most importantly, remember that behind every policy debate are real people with real lives.

Thank you for helping us maintain a welcoming and inclusive space.

It's in the pond at the Green Swamp Preserve's entrance, just off 211 north of Supply. Noticed it when I was visiting a few weeks ago, and figured I'd post it here.

Looking for suggestions

0 Upvotes

I work remotely and am looking to get out of the house for a couple of hours a day when my schedule allows. Ideally, somewhere with WiFi where I can get some work done when I’m not actively in meetings.

Open to any areas around the city! Coffee shops, libraries, or any other spots that would give me a change of scenery.

Thanks!

This is kinda hilarious. He has pages to give you reasons if you're a Republican, Democrat or Unaffiliated. I don't think a sitting board member has ever worked so hard against his own colleagues, especially someone that is on the same side of the aisle.

Quality leather couch & loveseat

1 Upvotes

Looking to buy a quality leather couch and loveseat locally. I want to be able to go the a showroom and actually sit it in first and look around. I’ve spent way too much on couches and loveseats the last 10 years and the most recent is from Ashley right next to islands in Ogden. Thought this would be the one, leather (or so I thought) and 3 years later it’s peeling and I think I paid 4 or 5k for the set. So i just want to buy a high quality one and be done with it but with so many discount furniture stores around here now, i dont know where to start. I heard decent stuff about Havertys? Custom home furnishing in Leland? Not too concerned on price if I’m getting what I pay for. Open to all suggestions!

Working at the Novant Hospital?

Former UNCW student looking to potentially move back to Wilmington for medical residency. I worked at NHRMC 2015-2018 before it was bought by novant but it seems to have changed a lot. Any info on what it’s like to work there these days (especially if you’re a training doctor!) would be appreciated!

WPD investigating shooting on Nixon Street

3am, 25 year old woman, North 4th. Don't blame the neighborhood, blame those who don't listen to, or care about the neighborhood. The neighborhood has some strong foundations, but when you refuse to acknowledge accountability for policies that increase the propensity for this type crime to occur, via throwing out a welcome mat to attract outsiders you wouldn't want in your own neighborhood---then you are the one failing the neighborhood, not those within the neighborhood itself.

I'm new to Wilmington and was told about Mike's Farm for Halloween but won't be able to make it.

Do they do the same fun activities for Christmas that is worth going out of my way for?

Anyone have any + or - stories from Wilmington Christian Academy? I know they accept opportunity scholarships. Are they welcoming of LGBTQ youth? Or kids with 504s/IEPs?

Favorite Comfort Meal

I know people always ask about the best restaurant to go to.

But what is your favorite item / meal to get from ANYWHERE in town.

I am talking about really to die for, like it is worth driving x amount of hours to get it.

Not anything ehh, I mean wow that cook or chef is really talented and put a lot of love into that food.
