Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!

This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!

Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.

At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!

2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.

Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:

  1. Don't attack other users.

It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).

It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

That's rich. Business leaders who would sell their own mother to the devil for 1/4 of a point increase in their stock price are lecturing someone who holds responsibility for comprehensive cause and effects of the populace for such insane business practices as these leaders force on the public.

"Whose prosperity" one would wonder. But we all know. It's theirs. All about them, forever and always to the last one. They are bought, sold and completely corrupted by their single-minded aim of wealth for themselves and their cause no matter what rh consequences to others.

They are sociopaths, not some "council" as if to imply wisdom or austere judgement.
