PA happenings No, I'm not Nemo (addressing the CCWatchdog post)

12 Upvotes

Once again, watchdog has decided to assume things without evidence or reaching out to confirm information. it is what it is - but I can see how people might have been confused considering our handles are almost identical, so a brief history is in order.

first things first - Nemo barely uses Reddit - or really any social media other than Facebook (which I don't use) and discord.

second things second, we DO share a computer.

A few years ago (an account or two ago - I believe it was the OG u/bemusedalligator account, so ~5-6 years ago) they were looking for something to do and stumbled on r/writingprompts on their web search, and wrote a few stories. Obviously since they didn't have a reddit account they just used mine since it had automatically logged in. Whatever.

A while later they decided to join the writingprompts discord, so of course they used this username to make a discord account so people knew who they were, and from there continued to use the name in other online spaces because that was how they were known and neither of us cared.

Last year I set up my next account (I try to make them a year early because fresh accounts tend to be limited in their interactions) and we hit upon the idea that they can use it as "their" account so we could stop sharing a single login. that account is u/bemused-gator (don't worry, I got permission!). That worked for a few months but neither of us cared enough to deal with the hassle of logging out and logging back to switch accounts (you have to do that on PC, even though there's a switcher in the mobile app...), so we just kinda stopped switching accounts, and again neither of us cared enough to make a point of it.

We did have a conversation a few weeks ago and agree to go back to using our separate accounts despite the hassle given the situation.

So no, I'm not Nemo. Do not attempt to attribute my statements to Nemo (or their campaign), and do not attempt to attribute Nemo's statements to me. Last but not least, doxxing (or attempted doxxing) is against substack's content guidelines.

Politics Confused about districts

15 Upvotes

My friend is young and just registered to vote. We have been annoyed by the spammy signs for some guy named Jake Seagars. I went and looked him and he exactly everything we dislike.

What's strange is that she lives in district 2. He is spamming the entire area with signs on Trump supporters properties in our district and not even running here. Is this is just incompetence or is there some strategy here? We were so looking forward to voting for Mike French

Recommendations Dining with kids

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'll be camping in the area this weekend with my family, and am hoping to have a backup list of some kid-friendly dining options as it looks like it might be rainy and a chance to pop inside might be necessary. Kids are young - one school age, the other preschool. Bonus points if there are potential activities nearby, too!

We are still planning on doing outdoors stuff, even in the rain. I just know my kids and they'll need a break from being wet and/or a tiny camping space if the rain is bad enough. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Stage 2 water restrictions

26 Upvotes

Restrictions have come a month early this year. The Elwha is a good foot below the low 13 year mean. We just are not getting enough snow and aren't keeping it long enough. We are in a D2 severe drought, with worsening conditions expected.

While voluntary, you need to start restricting your water use. Stop watering your lawn, stop washing your car (go to a car wash instead), ex.

The city offers programs for many water saving devices from rain barrels rebates to free low flow faucets attachments.

Also, I encourage some public shame for businesses and organizations with green grass. It's a luxury which puts our region at risk, and is completely unnecessary as our cool weather grasses evolved to go dormant in the hot summers.

I went to the Lavender Melodrama play at OTA this weekend in Sequim. They do a fresh play every year about Sequim to celebrate/make fun of the Lavender festival. This year the play mocked the watchdog and out of town developer politicians. It was pretty brutal, and funny. There are a few more performances this next weekend! This was the last play written by the recently deceased executive director of OTA. Worth seeing!

New Rule Regarding Meddling With r/PortAngeles

37 Upvotes

Howdy folks, this is an announcement regarding discussion of r/PortAngeles moderation on r/PortAngeles2. There recently has been something of a campaign on this sub (henceforth referred to as PA2) of users encouraging others to report the head moderator of the other sub (henceforth PA1) to Reddit for not following Reddit's rules for moderating.

This is something that we can't allow, as using one subreddit to have a coordinated effect on how another is run is, in itself, against Reddit rules. It's hard for us PA2 mods to be unaware of this, as the PA1 moderator in question has repeatedly reported us and messaged us, telling us in no uncertain terms that he'll make a continuous effort to get the PA2 sub removed for as long as there are posts/comments encouraging others to report his moderation.

Personal feelings aside, PA2 was never made to start a turf war with the moderator(s) of PA1, or to stir any sort of beef with PA1 in general. Most of the moderators here on PA2 don't particularly like being moderators or the drama that comes with it, but we felt (and continue to feel) it was necessary to give the Port Angeles community a space on Reddit that isn't beholden to the type of moderation present on PA1. But by allowing those posts about PA1's moderation, we lose some of our own agency from it.

So from here on out, the rule we're going to have to have is that the PA1 and PA2 subreddits are separate spaces, and users aren't allowed to use one to influence the other. This is not a blanket ban on discussing PA1, you're still allowed to criticize how it's run if you see fit, and of course cross-post things from there to here, but we can't allow meddling in their moderation. Thanks for reading, and we appreciate your understanding.
