In case you're new here (like me) OmegaCanada used to be MetaCanada on reddit.
Before I switched off that hellhole of censorship for this website I never really frequented MetaCanada because I had largely central-left leaning ideologies. However, for the past number of years I have watched the left turn into everything I hated about politics.
The abhorrent censorship happening throughout all areas of the media and internet, the lambasting anything that the left doesn't agree with as being radically far-right, or even worse, nazis.
Yet you get no mention of how this country (hell even America) is more fascist and divided now than they have ever been during a conservative majority or minority.
I only started visiting MetaCanada near the last days on reddit but I missed why the transition was made and why the decision was made to shut down the sub completely and move over here?
There are now two pretty main Canada subreddits, r/Canada and r/Onguardforthee, both which are cesspools for liberal censorship and stepping out of line and committing wrong think will get you outright banned from them (as I have). As well, most if not all, provincial subreddits ban and block any and all discourse that might be even slightly perceived as going against the narrative.
So I ask again, why was the decision made to shut down the sub on reddit completely and move over here?
At the time, many subs with “dissenting” views and opinions were getting banned. IIRC, metacan mods felt it better to leave before being banned.
Further, in light of the blatant censorship and far-left leaning views on Reddit, a lot of people wanted to move their communities elsewhere on principle.
Reddit is far too heavily censored, corrupt and mainstream at this point to expect to have reasonable political discourse. Admins will shut you down if your sub doesn’t comply.
r/CanadianConservatives is ok. Lots of commentary from moderates and independents, liberals too (usually trolls but sometimes it’s an interesting discussion).
r/UnbiasedCanada is good but not a lot of activity.
