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

I got banned for archiving a conservative politicians leadership campaign website and publishing it when they started telling lies about their policy positions.

'Not relevant'

My final ban came when I pointed out a known white supremacist was saying racist stuff. They temp banned me, a mod (a different one, the white supremacist one) challenged me to explain it, and then fully banned me when I didn't reply, which I couldn't do... Because they banned me.

On that subreddit, racist shit was okay but calling something racist was not.
