So I have been away for a while but I came back and see there are new subs. Would love to upload more and make it more geared towards what people would like to hear about the city. Do you want politics? Economics? General news?

Let me know any thoughts you have so I can try to find content more suited to what you’d like to see.

    I might be in the minority here, but I’ll voice my opinion anyhow. I was always disappointed that other city based subreddits had a good sense of humor and allowed fun meme posts. But r/Chicago never allowed such things :( maybe this community can allow some cool Chicago memes or if people disagree, maybe there can be a separate Chicago memes community? What do other people think, am I just a weirdo who wants locally specific memes?

      I think memes only become a problem when they drown out all the other posts, but given the size of this instance I wouldn’t expect that to be an issue in the short term.

      Maybe limit it to “Meme Mondays” if it starts getting out of hand?

      I don’t mind memes and stuff like that at all. I would agree with @KingStrafeIV@midwest.social, once the memes and stuff get out of hand it can start to drown out useful conversation.

      I say post and let people decide what they want to see. If we see some backlash then we can start to reign things in or modify as needed. “Meme Mondays” or something of the sort is a good, contained way to still have them be present.
