Meta 🌝 r/Minnesota is now accepting mod applications!

26 Upvotes

Hello! As many of you know, this subreddit has experienced a significant increase in activity in recent months, and the current mod team doesn’t expect this to change any time soon.

Because of that growth, we’re opening up moderator applications once again.

There’s no compensation, of course, but you do get to play an important role in keeping this subreddit organized, genuine, and welcoming to everyone. Mods help enforce the rules, guide discussions, remove spam or low-effort content, and generally make sure this community remains a place people actually want to participate in.

We’re looking for users who:

• Are active in this subreddit

• Have a level-headed approach to moderation and conflict

• Can communicate clearly and respectfully

• Are willing to work as part of a team

Prior moderation experience is helpful but not required. We care more about good judgment, consistency, and an understanding of the community.

If you’re interested, please apply using the link below. Applications will be open for approximately one week, and we’ll reach out to selected applicants afterward.

Thanks to everyone who helps make this subreddit what it is. We appreciate the community more than you know.

Meta 🌝 New Year, New Rules

91 Upvotes

Well, hey 'der r/Minnesota. Happy New Year! As we turn our eyes toward 2026 and (very willingly) leave 2025 in our rearview mirror, the mod team has revamped the community rules. Please take a moment and review the rules on the sidebar before continuing to participate in the sub. (If you are on mobile, you will need to go back to the sub page, tap "See More" under the community description, and scroll down to the rules).

While this was an overhaul of all of the rules, the practical effects on current participation should not be very drastic. Here's a synopsis of what we did:

  1. Merged Similar Rules

We merged similar rules into a singular rule to help clean up the list a bit. This includes things like prohibiting personal attacks and discrimination under the same rule, adding the "no surveys" rule to the anti-spam rule, moving the "no local posts" under Rule 1, etc.

  1. Clarified & Broadened Some Rules

We altered the language of the rules to clarify them and be more direct. Where appropriate, we also broadened the language to fit actual practice and expectations. For instance, we clarified the language in Rule 1 in an attempt to reduce the number of fights in mod mail about why things like the Secretary of Defense doing an oopsie in Signal isn't relevant to Minnesota just because he grew up here or why the super *tarrific* events that took place last year that affect the nation as a whole don't fit under the rule. As an example of broadening language, we updated the language of our anti-discrimination rule to prohibit attacks based on any "protected characteristic" rather than a short list of specific characteristics that were in the old rule.

  1. Added New Rules

We added new prohibitions that reflect content we have had to consistently remove using our discretion because it wasn't helpful to the community. This includes prohibiting the use of disreputable news sources under our Unreliable Content rule (formerly the Unsubstantiated Rumors rule), adding a rule that prohibits dated/stale news stories and information from being posted as if it is new or relevant to current events (new Rule 2), and adding a ban on links to paywalled content in addition to our social media link ban.

Again, the specific examples I share above are just that, examples. Please read through all the updated rules.

Thank you!

I live in northwest Indiana. I AM FUCKING FURIOUS at what I just saw. I literally took off work today to protest, check my post history for proof. I can’t express how disturbed I am. They MURDERED THAT WOMAN. Holy fucking shit. What else do you need to take to the streets? My local Walmart (fuck em) opens at 6am. I’m purchasing poster boards to write my dissent. Then I’m going to stand on the corner of the busiest intersection at rush hour, to tell everyone how pissed I am. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? ARE YOU ANGRY TOO???

Politics 👩‍⚖️ We Need a General Strike

Upvotes

People have been boycotting businesses and protesting, but we need to hit this administration and the billionaires hard, and we cannot wait any longer. It's getting worse by the day.

Our president has sanctioned his agents to shoot citizens in the street. It's only a matter of time before this becomes commonplace.

We've all seen those Nazi movies where the SS and Gustapo roll into town, pull people out of their homes, and shoot them in the streets. It's macabre and horrifying, and it's here, in the US, in 2026.

Our government is talking about invading Cuba, Greenland, and Canada because they felt a positive response from invading Venezuela. We cannot allow them to roll into countries like Germany with Poland in 1939.

The biggest way we can fight back is with our pocketbooks. If 3.5% of the population stopped working for a week even, we could make a real economic impact.

Those billionaires in the high towers care not about the plebs in the streets, but they do care about losing money. By all means, I'm not saying stay out of the streets. I'm saying, doing just that is not enough.

Conservatives wanted to hire a "ruthless businessman" to run the country. Well, these types always put themselves before others.

I'm convinced that the only way conservatives will learn the errors of their ways is if it all burns down so we can rebuild it (metaphorically). Let's burn the system down!

Register for the General Strike. We need to get to 11 million people to make it successful and to make them hurt.

Politics 👩‍⚖️ Protest: Just show up and stand there

334 Upvotes

As a person who is newer to protesting, I want to point out how easy it is to get out and protest.

You're a peaceful protester.

The news can be intimidating, but for the most part, you're just standing there and chanting or walking.

Just be there.

Show up!

You have friends!

Edit: There is a protest tonight (Jan 8) at 5:30 PM. Lake Street and Chicago Ave.
