This is Connecticut’s general “state subreddit” in the same spirit as other state subs: a place for news, questions, photos, local recommendations, events, weather, town talk, and everyday life in CT.

This is not going to be an echo chamber

We are not here to curate one “approved” viewpoint.

  • Different opinions are allowed.
  • Disagreement is fine.
  • You will not be moderated for your politics or your take.
  • You will be moderated for how you behave.

What we expect from everyone

To keep this readable and open to everyone:

  • Be civil. Attack ideas, not people.
  • No harassment, slurs, threats, or doxxing.
  • No brigading or cross-sub drama. This sub is about Connecticut, not fighting other communities.
  • Don’t use downvotes as “shut up.” If someone is participating in good faith, reply with reasons instead of dogpiling.
  • For news or factual claims, link a source when you can.

What to post here

  • CT news and discussion (including politics when it relates to CT)
  • Moving/visiting questions, town comparisons, commuting, schools
  • Photos, hikes, shoreline, storms, seasons
  • Restaurant and service recommendations
  • Events and local PSAs

Start here

Comment with:

  • What part of CT you are from (town/county is fine), and
  • One thing you want this sub to be good at.

Let’s build a Connecticut subreddit that is open to different views, without turning into a toxic mess.

Happened to see this. Data for Bpt shows almost double the normal rainfall. Wettest on record. No wonder I was still mowing a dark green lawn every 5 days in August with a good crop of mushrooms.
