Please don't give it to the Calgary mods. Let's start something new. It's time to stop giving them so much attention, and power (if you will).
Pretty please, let's start something new, without the amount of censorship that goes on at r/calgary. It doesn't really need modded yet anyways. If something offends anyone, I implore them, move past it and move on with your day. If you don't like the conversation, don't participate.
I attempted to post about this on the r/Calgary sub and the mods removed it. They aren't supporting the blackout and they don't want this community shared on Reddit. I'd advise you not to give the Calgary mods access to this community. I think this is a chance to build something better.
Too bad for them I guess. I'll be engaging on here exclusively.
This place will be better if they just stay over there. That sub has gotten unbearable the past few years. It used to be SO much better. Always weird, but better!
I'd like to keep my hopes up. But communities that are based on where a person lives dont select for people of the same ideology or interests except for the fact that they are interested in the same place. So I expect these Calgary ones to eventually be similar.
In a community about a favourite game or hockey team or hobby, everyone is on the same side and has a lot in common and the topics are light. A city has far more complex issues than the average hobby and opinions vary wildly.
Let's watch and see.
Oh God not those clowns
Waves to everyone, ancient /r/Calgary person under a new name... I could be anyone and I'm karma free baby!
I hope that was a joke.
