idk if I want an entire instance made up of CBC commenters.
Seriously, who are these people commenting on CBC articles? I don't usually even look at the comments anymore, simply because any time I did, they were full of the shittiest, dumbest assholes I've ever seen. I'm embarrassed to even share a country with people who comment on CBC articles.
By comparison, comments on Reddit and Lemmy are usually okay. Not good by any means (especially in the right leaning mess that was r/Canada), but miles better than CBC's comments (which I can only assume are completely unmoderated).
Maybe most of them won't figure out how to login here. Especially if they force 2fa.
There always seem to be 2. The real answer is in the comments (Reddit/Lemmy), and the comments are worth ignoring (Cbc/CTV/Facebook)
@Tired8281 @grte
The difference here being that a CBC instance wouldn't have to follow dumb rules ... they'd make up their own so the racists, multi-phobics, etc wouldn't have much of a platform.
Yeah, tell me about it. The dumbest thing the CBC ever did was open up to comments.
