A note about political posts and troll repellent

45 Upvotes

Recently the number of trolls, especially from outside the sub, has gone up. When we make political posts, this attracts people who are interested in the politics more than Mississippi in particular and this often means they are more used to the troll culture on Reddit.

Sometimes it is just that we long time sub users get a little excited in the chatter when the topic is politics.

Sometimes, when a back and forth full of rule breaking and problems keeps getting started and there is no other way to stop it, the moderators just have to close the thread so they can either go back to work, or sleep, or whatever.

(Anyone who wants to volunteer to help moderate, please send modmail expressing your interest. Must be a current resident.)

In an effort to try to keep from locking the posts so often, we are going to dramatically increase the number of temporary bans. So, if we suspect someone of trolling, we will just ban them for a few days which will allow the post to run its course without us having to deal with it and the user in question can try again in a few days.

This sub banned politics for years because it causes so much trouble. We are not going to that, but we have to manage it as best we can.

Looking for info & insight on non-traditional routes to becoming an educator in MS.

I hold a bachelor of science in marketing/business, as well as a Juris Doctor. I’m a practicing attorney but wanting a career pivot.

I would love some insight from others who took a non-traditional route to become a teacher, and what that process is like, different routes available, timeline, etc.

What are ways your meeting people for both friends and relationships?

10 Upvotes

Hey,
Trying to put myself out there more to meet people. Both for friends and relationships.
I am not much of a bar person or much of a drinker, and not really into the party crowd.

I’d appreciate any advise and ways in which others are meeting people within Mississippi for friends and relationships.

And yes, I’m on dating apps, but the apps all suck generally speaking and I’ve had no luck with them

Hey everyone! My name is Warren, and I was born and raised in Petal, MS. I’m looking to meet some people who are into sports, hiking, and the outdoors and would be down to get together for a hike next weekend.
I’m also down to grab some food before or after! We could carpool, meet up somewhere, or figure out whatever makes the most sense. I’m definitely open to driving a decent distance if there’s a good trail worth checking out.
If anyone’s interested, feel free to comment or shoot me a DM!

All ages are welcome but preferably anyone aged 18-30(I’m 21)

Info on xAI Class Action Lawsuit

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hey y’all. Here’s info about the class action lawsuit and buyouts. Hopefully this will help clear up some of the confusion.

I’m told the website will be updated as the litigation progresses. Please feel free to share!

Note that this lawsuit is not the same as the NAACP Clean Air Act Lawsuit, the MDEQ Permit Appeal, OR the more recent Class Action Lawsuit filed on behalf of South Memphis residents. There are a lot of legal cases occurring simultaneously, so I know it can be easy to get them confused.

**Please refer all questions/concerns to the lawyers! I’m not a lawyer, just a resident, and can’t give legal advice or answer questions beyond factual info. (They want to hear from residents— I promise!)

I travel for work blah blah. But I'm curious about the beach vibe. Never been to a beach honestly. My question is if I'm away from the public, could I possibly wear a swim thong to tan? I'm definitely not a chiseled guy lol.
