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

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.
