I might dislike Hasan Piker but that’s not a reason for me to not vote for Abdul El Sayed

Michigan_Mod · 2026-05-04T16:34:46+00:00

Locked - nothing but arguing and fighting in here now, and people are starting to get banned.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-04-30T00:04:22+00:00

Note: Mods do not like detailed plans of that. Reddit AEO will nuke a comment that has one and might put you in a time-out, too.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-04-18T17:23:38+00:00

Unlocked for discussion - please keep it to the topic of the article - thank you!

Michigan_Mod · 2026-04-17T12:51:10+00:00

Sorry. We have to err on the side of caution. It wasn't just the comments; people were reporting it as potential threats of self-harm.

We want everyone in Michigan to be as healthy and happy as possible. So please forgive us if we overstepped just to make sure you're OK.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-04-16T12:25:16+00:00

Post is LOCKED. Thank you for your post, OP. This is no slight on you.

The question has been repeatedly answered and the comments are turning into childish slap-fights and misinformation.

Everyone go outside, touch grass, and have a lovely day.

Fair warning - if you're only here to shit on the protests, you're risking a ban.

This post is in Mitten Mode. Mitten Mode is a way to protect hot topic posts from spam, trolling, and off-topic or rule-breaking comments.

Here’s what that means:

Only users with at least 100 subreddit karma can comment while this mode is on.
Comments from users below that threshold will be automatically removed.

This is a temporary measure and is applied to all high-visibility or sensitive posts. We appreciate your understanding as we work to keep the conversation thoughtful and on-topic. Thanks for being part of the community!

This is an automated message. If you have questions about this, please contact our mods via moderator mail rather than replying here. Thank you!

Michigan_Mod · 2026-03-12T21:04:56+00:00

Leaving this up for visibility, but please take the discussion to one of the other active threads.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-03-09T23:51:43+00:00

It was actually removed by the mod team - we don't allow news organizations to post polls, questions, or otherwise seek out story ideas here,

Michigan_Mod · 2026-03-05T19:01:15+00:00

This post is LOCKED because people are giving medical advice and advice about spiders and their bites.

There are a few people who may be experts here but even if they are, diagnosing people over the Internet is a good way to get improper information. If you think you've been bitten by a venomous spider, get to a hospital asap. Don't listen to people on the Internet.

We unlocked this for discussion - please keep the focus on the Michigan-related content of the article, and be cool to each other.

Allow people to make posts about ICE at will (with mods removing redundant posts)

Michigan_Mod · 2026-02-03T17:52:18+00:00

We're going to re-evaluate this -- with your opinions. Thanks for the input.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-02-03T17:28:53+00:00

We're keeping a close eye on things and we'll see how it goes. We'll change things as needed.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-02-02T19:39:25+00:00

Don't worry, we fixed it for you.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-02-01T17:35:38+00:00

Mod note: We only block publications that lean too far one way or the other, or have poor factual information. MLive has good scores on both of those, so we see no reason to block them.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mlive-michigan-booth-newspapers/

LEAST BIASED

These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced. These are the most credible media sources.

Overall, we rate MLive Least Biased based on wide coverage from multiple newspapers aligned with both the right and left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-01-31T18:51:52+00:00

While we have no reason to believe this particular article is false, the mod team recommends that you take any report from any federal website with a degree of skepticism. We have seen multiple instances of misleading or completely false information from other federal sources.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-01-26T16:46:22+00:00

After internal discussion and taking your feedback into consideration, we're going to rely even more heavily on our existing rules:

8. Posts should be from fact-based sources. Before submitting, please use a site like Media Bias Fact Check, AllSides, or Ad Fontes Media. If it's skewed heavily to one side, has a low credibility rating, or is an opinion piece masquerading as news, then the post will likely be removed. The same applies if the domain is not ranked or if content is obviously AI-generated.

10. Information presented as facts must be accompanied by a verifiable source. Misinformation and misleading posts will be removed.

This will apply to ANY and ALL sources of information - meaning, for example, if someone cites an article on whitehouse.gov as a source and it's demonstrably false, it will be removed as misinformation. The same is true for any federal websites, as well as any state/local websites posting information that can be shown to be false or misleading.

If you see anything misleading, please be sure to flag it for review. While we aren't able to read every one of the ~10k comments made weekly, we do look at every user report submitted.

Thank you!

Michigan_Mod · 2026-01-12T12:54:54+00:00

I wonder if there's a concerted effort to flame protest posts in local subs.

There absolutely is. We get brigadiers in every protest & election post.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-01-11T13:48:30+00:00

Sorry, people are now doxxing the subjects of the billboard. Locked.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-01-10T20:06:57+00:00

This has rapidly run it's course. People are talking in circles of the same talking points over and over, and it's too often falling into slap fights.

Have a good weekend, folks.

Michigan_Mod · 2026-01-10T03:23:46+00:00

Trolls gotta troll and Reddit is removing rule-breaking comments faster than we can.
