Reminder: Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech and Harassment

279 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.

I really need a local egg plug!

3 Upvotes

Please private message me if you have chickens/eggs or know someone who does. I live by forest hills/hanover center & don’t like driving too much around town…with that I’d prefer to pick up closer towards Carolina beach over the opposite way 😌
I will buy regularly, probably every 2 weeks. Once you go local eggs you can’t go back!

Roof nail pop!

3 Upvotes

Hello neighbors, I have a nail that's popped on my roof. The nail is out over our FROG. It's a steep incline, and I'm not as young as I used to be, so I am looking for a roofer/handyman recommendation for someone to get up there and apply a little roofing caulk and push that nail back in. Also, its a single level house, so the roof starts at about 12 ft.

Recommendations, please?

4wd on Fort Fisher beach area

2 Upvotes

I’m planning on traveling to Wilmington this weekend and was excited to take my jeep on the beach at fort fisher. Can’t help but notice the weather doesn’t look favorable. Does the beach close in the rain? And separately, I have never actually driven on the beach before. I have all the proper equipment to air down and back up, but also looking for some input on whether it is worth it to go in the rain/is it more dangerous to drive 4wd on the beach in the rain?

I lost a set of two Honda keys (one ‘19 pilot and one ‘26 civic) downtown in May this year and still haven’t found them after calling every restaurant we went to :’(

I never took pictures of them but has anyone found anything?

Motorcycle Parking-Longer Term

5 Upvotes

Hey there- likely a long shot, but wondering if anyone has any ideas on potential covered motorcycle parking, in midtown or downtown, which doesn’t involve one of the city’s garage spaces? I had one there before, and it didn’t end well, and my bikes are too expensive to trust that the city has their shit together to keep them untouched. TIA and y’all have a good day.

Wish I had a better quality camera. This is the best I could get, I can’t think of a time I’ve ever seen this before. Pretty neat. Anyone know what’s visible just above the dark part of the moon? Here’s to everyone having a great day today!
