Hi all. Welcome to the Lemmy c/Portland.

I’ve been on federated sites for awhile, and tried to mod this community awhile back, but adoption had been slow and I let it sit.

As such, it’s available for us to make it whatever you want. Please make sure to follow the lemmy.ml rules.

• No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/code_of_conduct.html
• Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
• No porn.
• No Ads / Spamming.

I also humbly request we attempt to not fall into some of the issues with r/Portland where it devolves into a crime blog/NextDoor-like space or become a platform for some of the local PACs to push their agendas (on any side).

Lets just be neighborly and if we disagree, then we’ll work it out. If the place takes off, then we’ll work together to codify more custom ground rules for discussion.

With that said, howdy neighbors.
