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:

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.

AMP version let me view the article with my ad blocker up.

In January, a 29-year-old man died after catching on fire in a city park next to the library and the temporary shelter. Police said they believe the victim had an “accelerant” on his clothes and caught fire after he lit a cigarette.

Fuck AMP, use uBlockOrigin to block ads and all that crap.

I agree. I provided an AMP free link as the primary link. But it had a notice that I had an ad blocker running. That notice couldn't be closed. So I provided the AMP link. I didn't feel like grabbing the archive.is link.

My bad, I misunderstood the AMP comment. 🙇🏽‍♂️

Substance abuse and mental health crises are perfect situations for cops to be dispatched to. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Doing great, Portland Metro. Genius. /s

This is Beaverton, not Portland. My comment is regarding Beaverton’s history of getting rid of unwanted people

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My deepest apologies, Beaverton. I know how badly y'all wanna be your own thing. Especially when it comes to dehumanizing others over perceived property value and pearl-clutching bullshit. Thanks for supporting my point, trog.

Why am I getting shit for pointing out the flaws in Beaverton?
