Okay, I'll bite. From my initial read of it, it seems like this prop would make our primaries a confusing mess. Thusly, I wasn't planning on voting for it. However, if I'm mistaken, I'd like to hear how it is actually beneficial. .

Ironic that this was put into place by republicans with the thought that it would make it easier for old people to vote.

Maybe just a /c/news for non local news. Can't really think of any politics that wouldn't fit in either a general /c/news or in /c/tucsonpolitics.

Anyone else going?

Also interesting if you are of a certain age and remember all the drama around it.

Probably due to the heat. Decline when it's super hot, surge when it cools down.

I honestly don't like the news bot at all. No one posts on its threads and it's impossible to engage with others on Tucson.social through the noise of all its posts. And honestly, thirdly, if you want to grow this instance with real people you have to leave them something to post, and that is going to be mostly interesting news people want to discuss. Maybe if you restricted the bot to one news thread a day where it posts all of the news articles at once. That and the monthly "what's going on in Tucson this month" threads wouldn't fill up the feed as much.
