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.

I cannot believe a subreddit run by an avowed Neo-Nazi would do such a thing…

Here’s the imgur link with the proof (“Perma” is the mod of r/Canada). They removed him, but a mystery brand new user was immediately added as a mod.

Oh my god. I remember ham sandwich. He was a real piece of shit.

Wow. I never really paid close attention to who were the mods except for /r/quebec and /r/montreal where I hung out most of the time. They were pretty fair and if got temporarily banned I would agree in hindsight. But, I didn’t know /r/canada was run by white supremacists that also hung out on /r/metacanada.

Jesus. Welp, I don’t feel so bad for being permabanned lol. And I always have this community which is pretty active and MUCH nicer. And I’ll try to be just as nice at least.

Anything canada related has been hijacked by “activists” and they arbitrarily ban anything their delicate sensibilities can’t handle, which is basically anything. I got banned for referencing historical data in relation to the current direction of geopolitics and the likelihood of another world war soon and our (canada’s) heavy involvement in the arms industry to tyrants around the world. Specifically I was referencing the “War is a Racket” book by Major General Smedley Butler and apparently the facts that the military industrial complex runs the show got them severely butt hurt. Especially since Canada isn’t a country as much as a puppet for corporate interests these days.

I was (temp) banned because I called Conservatives as ‘Cons’ (but not for Libs, NDP, etc). They are very delicate, fragile people.

/r/Canada is pretty much a fascist circle jerk with Albertans/Conservatives ever since they hijacked it for the last few years. It’s pretty sad.

You broke the site wide rules by advertising a competing service, not the subreddit’s rules. It’s surprising the ban didn’t extend site wide.

Seriously? So if you talk about joining Facebook or Twitter or any other social network you get permabanned site wide?

You could be. I’m not saying it’s justified, but it is a rule on the site as a whole that users are not permitted to advertise other platforms. It’s their way of fucking their users just a little more, because they can try and justify anything they want because it’s in the TOS you agree to when signing up.

The mods there are super sketchy. I wouldn’t be surprised if any of them are on someone’s payroll.

Yup, I’ve seen that stuff. It’d make me feel better if they were getting paid. It’s a nicer thought to me than them doing this crap because they’re truly that way.

Join the club. I’ve been banned from so many subs for bullshit reasons in the last 3 years I can’t even keep track of them all.

The cancer has taken over Reddit.
