They must be those cool folks from r/onguardforthee and r/fredericton! Lets get off those american Reddit servers eh!
Update: there’s a thread on r/buycanadian with 93 upvotes, promoting the platform! Open the floodgates baby!
Hi! If you need reliable canadian hosting for lemmy.ca let me know. I am a co-founder of a Canadian Cloud and I will be happy to provide the infra for free. We are happy to help canada going out of American Corporation. If you are interested, let me know!
Let’s talk =)
Let the collaborations begin ;)
Can I pay you in maple syrup?
That’s almost more stable than the canadian dollars these days, I might consider ;)
There’s some Facebook ‘buy Canadian’ groups with over half a million people in - this server occasionally comes up there too when people are looking for Canadian hosted discussion sites to ditch big American tech like reddit or Facebook groups.
Thank you for informing me as that brings a smile to my face.
A Facebook exodus!
Canadian Friendica will be here soon!
What caused it?
I heard Reddit was going to charge subscriptions for subreddits.
Also they banned a bunch of porn and lgbt subs.
Wait is there any validity to that first one?
I know the second one happened for like a day and they tried to say ‘Just a bug!’ thinking no one would see past their totally brilliant cover-up.
That first one would be huge. Maybe a hammer for all the nails they been gathering to their coffin!
In a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by CEO Steve Huffman following the company’s quarterly earnings report (which went poorly), the founder and exec said Reddit is actively testing ways to make some content require payment to access and plans to roll out a “paid subreddit” feature later this year.
