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

90 Upvotes

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

210 Upvotes

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.

I know some of you out there aren't drinking water as you should be for one reason or another. That's part of what fuels us, energizes us, and keeps us good so dont skip it.

Tell other people too so none of you will be passing out.

Beat the heat with old sheets!

192 Upvotes

Temperature on the inside of my window at 9am was 99°, an hour after hanging an old curtain on the outside it dropped to 85°. Seriously, I have old sheets and curtains hanging on the east side of my house now and it makes a measurable difference. They are clipped to the gutters or eaves with clothespins or the bigger Home Depot spring clamps. Anything to make the week bearable! Anyone have other suggestions?

I have 4 Angeles trikes at my school I'm looking to see if someone can restore them. Paint job, rust, tightening loose parts etc. See photos. Most Nike shops I called said they don't work on trikes like these. Also would be really helpful if someone could come to the school to look at them, it's tough to transport all of them.

(I did fix the wheel on the two seater after the pic was taken).

Sports Short-handed Aztecs show proof of life in thrilling comeback win over Texas State (10.3.2026)

The San Diego State Aztecs will long remember their historic first Pac-12 Conference game on Saturday.

Not just because it was a 31-29 win against the Texas State Bobcats, but because of how an underdog, shorthanded Aztecs team hobbled by injuries and a mumps outbreak found the will to rally twice from a double-digit deficit and then hold on through a crazy fourth quarter. 

A 17-3 halftime deficit seemed to be telegraphing a fourth straight loss for the Aztecs, which could have sent their season spiraling out of control. 

But the second half was full of big plays and big performances that came at just the right time.

Local News Blackout in Golden Hill--is SDGE's outage map broken?

3 Upvotes

Power's out at 28th and C, but SDGE only shows one power outage at all (in Orange County, which I didn't even know they served), which is definitely not true on the average day--and certainly not today. Anyone else out? How large is this blackout?

It was about 74 degrees and breezy today on Mt. Laguna today. Lots of shade in the woods. Fall colors are popping too. Might be a tad warmer tomorrow but still a good place to go to escape the heat.

Announcement Cox/Spectrum Cable Internet PSA: You can probably lower your bill and get unlimited data.

72 Upvotes

TL;DR: If you have Cox cable internet, you can probably lower your bill and get unlimited data by going on Spectrum's website or calling them.

I was paying $125 per month for 1gbps service and a 1 TB data cap, which I was constantly going over and getting charged for, but was able to lower my bill to $60 a month for the first year, $105 after that, and get unlimited data. Go through Spectrum's site and put in your address. You'll be redirected to Cox, but can get Spectrum's deals. I'm sure you could also do it by calling.

Still wish I could get AT&T Fiber at my house, but the unlimited data and cheaper bill is a decent consolation prize.
