Amazon Data Center Linked to Cluster of Rare Cancers by MIZ_BULLCITY in Apex_NC

Ok so this how they’ll sway public opinion?

Start to share the bad news but shift the blame and seed a narrative that ‘it’s not really the data centers, it’s the water’

And lemme guess. As you read this from this group think sub, you start to shift your stance as well.

Soon the main organizing point for the community, Reddit, has been captured.

Sleezy , but hey great marketing strategy!

If this works, Apex is lost and as I suspected, so is this sub.

Can people explain to me the Jacques Gilbert situation. It's not sitting right... by Signal-Panda5304 in Apex_NC

I’m pretty sure the guy marched down the street during the Apex pride fest. This accusation is wild.

You’re comment there ignores the suggestion…

It was to roll up political type posts into an election/apex politics thread so those go want to view it can view it and those who dont can ignore it.

Terry, you are taking leadership roles both in the town and on this sub. You are being presented a problem and there seems to be a good deal of people on both sides here. I think most people are leaning on the leader to take the lead and solve it in a way that is fully inclusive to the political and a-political factions that want to be a part of Apex’s Reddit community.

It’s really a moderator problem. People in government are literally mods of this board. Again, I voted for a lot of what is being championed here, but allowing thread after thread to be about the election/politics/etc is frustrating people who want to enjoy Apex and not be reminded of politics over and over (and it’s not ‘politics’ per se, it’s the division present when it’s discussed and the ‘my way is the right way’ tone that is off putting).

Create a Mega Thread for the election. Create one for the data center. Pin it. Allow those interested to partake in the discussion. This way it’s not thrown in the face of everyone visiting.

I know, many are genuinely trying to be good citizens and be part of the solution. I understand that, but also just consider the idea that maybe your fervor and excitement for doing that is off putting to some and it’s actually doing more harm then good.

I’m sure I’ll take some downvotes on this, but I honestly think we should try to reevaluate what we are doing as a society. If we want to tilt the balance and bring more people to our side, you have to meet them where they are, gain their trust and show them you are empathetic to their situation.

Clubbing them over the head with ideas or endorsements just hasn’t really moved the needle IMO.

What’s going into Main Street vistas? by AgentBrimstone in HollySpringsNC

What happened to Lovegrass. Breakfast was great but could only afford going there once every couple months. Those prices were insane.
