Regarding the use of slurs:

162 Upvotes

Users will now receive a temporary/permanent ban, based on use of slurs in posts or comments.

This also, very much includes the R slur. It has become re-popularized by folks on the left and right, but it has no impact whatsoever within the discourse, except to make disabled (and already marginalized people) feel less safe.

I also like to think we are smarter and have better options for pointing out the lack of intellect in our peer’s arguments. 💗

Autoban: Negative Karma Accounts

218 Upvotes

Our community has grown significantly — from 2,000 members two months ago to nearly 10,000 today. Most new members find us through the main NC sub, which has a well-known bot and troll problem. Keeping that kind of activity out of this community is a priority for us.

To that end, our automod will automatically ban accounts with low or negative karma scores. This includes karma from deleted comments, which is worth noting because bots and trolls frequently delete their comment history to hide activity patterns. Our scoring is informed by published bot detection research.

No automated system is perfect. If your account gets flagged incorrectly, send us a mod message and we'll reverse the ban promptly. This rule isn't about limiting speech — it's about giving our community the space to grow on its own terms, free from the noise that plagues larger subs.

As always, we want you to help shape what this community looks like. If you have thoughts on this rule, leave a comment below.

Bob Winstead is running for secretary of state and Brad Knott is running for reelection for NC District 13. Knott gave a speech about how we need to put "Christian soldiers" in every school and office and called non-Christians the "dark forces of evil." Enough.

This racist corporate lobbyist has been sending daily texts calling his opponent, Senator Haseeb Fatmi, a terrorist and radical extremist. Chris Stock is a MAGA corporate lobbyist who says Trump inspired him to run. Vote for Senator Fatmi and every other democrat on the ballot.

The North Carolina General Assembly is about to demolish the state’s multi billion dollar hemp industry.

189 Upvotes

A Whitney Economics industry study released in 2026 estimated that North Carolina had 2,197 hemp-related retailers in 2025 that collectively generated over $1.8 billion in retail sales. This does not include another 3,800 North Carolina convenience stores, gas stations, and other retail outlet that sell hemp products.

All of this goes away on December 11, 2026 if the North Carolina General Assembly continues to do nothing, or worse tries to restart the dumpster fire HB 328.

Google the Whitney Report, page 10. Read Puff, Puff … Pass? By Jeffrey Billman in The Assembly dated July 7, 2026. Watch Morgan Davis on YouTube. She’s the top legal cannabis voice in NC.

Discussion Motor vehicle taxes

6 Upvotes

With the “tax and tag together” program, why is there no option to simply pay on the tax throughout the year instead of all at once when the registration is ready to renew? For some people, that is a substantial amount all at once that could have been paid over time. I get that most people will procrastinate and wait until the last minute anyway, but it should at least be an option.

News Starting on 12/11/26, possession of 1.5+ ounces of the same THCa flower available today in hundreds of stores across North Carolina, will become a class 1 felony with a mandatory prison sentence.

496 Upvotes

All of those stores will close and the thousands of NC employees that work in them will lose their jobs.

Why? 1) Because the federal government is changing the definition of “hemp” and “marijuana” and 2) the NC general assembly has been unwilling to develop state legislation to regulate the industry.

40+ states, D.C., and Cherokee, NC have all done the work to set regulations for age limits, labeling, licensing, testing, and taxes. But our representatives in Raleigh haven’t got around to it yet.

The same THCa flower that sold in hundreds hemp shops throughout North Carolina will become federally illegal in North Carolina on December 11, 2026. All of those shops will be decimated. Why? Because North Carolina's legislators are not representing the people.
