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

name me a Canadian subreddit that ISN'T run by mods that staunchly control the narrative

Not just limited to Canadian subreddits, it's all local subreddits and basically all that are over 10k people. Niche hobby subreddits are basically all that's left that's still ok for actually discussion.

And quite honestly, Lemmy kinda sucks too mostly because the userbase isn't that large and politically leans significantly left of the average IRL (Reddit, other than some select (mostly American-based) subreddits also leans left of average, but not as far as Lemmy) so it's very much an echo chamber.

That is a non sequitur.
