Interesting insights into how controlled the narrative is in /r/canada on Reddit. One of the things that struck me was that there’s no self posts in /r/canada unlike many other countries’ and provinces’ subreddits. It would be nice if we differentiated ourselves here on Lemmy with more self posts

Hasn't r/canada notoriously been a mod-dictatorship shithole for years now?

I never spent any notable time there, but I remember seeing meta-conflicts there spill out onto the front page on a pretty regular basis.

Literally had a self-professed white nationalist on the mod team and as far as I know still does.

Is ham sandwich still there?? It's been ages since I've been on /r/Canada, was taken over a very long time ago.

Yup, getting reported for saying anything remotely left-leaning or calling out far-right hate speech pretty much results in a permanent ban.

Back in the day when stormfront was relavent, they had organized attacks on location subreddits. They tend to be easier to take over than general interest subs and have an outsized influence on politics. /r/canada was the crown jewel of this strategy.

Ah...

Yes - now it all fits together.

I remember those days, but I wasn't on Reddit then.
