I posted this yesterday:

And apparently this warrants a instant permaban.

They don’t even tell you what rule it breaks. Which one do you think it might break?

In any case, every time I visit Reddit and look at my local subs (Montréal, Québec or Canada) I look at the comments and they’re absolutely vile. The community has become so fucking toxic it’s unbearable. And I also realized how my mental health actually improved since I left that community.

They can keep the permaban. I don’t give a shit anymore. I’m so over that god forsaken place.

Peace out.

Quick update:

I contancted the mods and apparently I was permabanned for spamming and they immediately muted me so I wouldn’t be able to message the mods any further. I can understand that it can be considered spamming, but I feel they’re being extremely harsh over this. They really have no chill.

    r/Canada is literally run with conservative propaganda efforts in mind. It’s not surprised that any attempt to pull people out of the echo chamber is met with an instant ban.

      It was like a mini The_Donald for awhile. Mods there want to keep control of a potential propaganda channel.

        They’re really clinging to P.P. and good promises to help with the housing market. But we all know that won’t happen.

        There’s a narrative going around that the subreddit is under attack by white supremacists, but honestly that’s just what Canada is like. If you know how to see their style of polite racism you’d know that they’re 300x more vile than your average American, they just hide it a lot better.

        … I mean, they do have nazi moderators, but that’s like 99% of reddit.

      Disappointing. I checked out the subreddit for crocs once and same thing. Weird how that turns out
