Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #canadaland, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I listened to Jesse Brown's podcast on the Canadaland subreddit so you don't have to.

    Top takeaways:
    - Reddit still sucks and is full of trolls.
    - Even more people hate Jesse Brown than ever.
    - Some use sock puppets to attack him.
    - Mark Bourrie might be one.
    - Few journalists understand how IP addresses work.

    I can't believe how much time I've spent on reddit to follow this mostly boring story of rabbit holes of pettiness and outrage.

  6. This past weekend I caught up on complaints against @jessebrown of Canadaland.

    I'm withholding judgement, but want to clarify something. If someone emails you a unique URL and you click it, then your IP can be logged.

    Critics seem focused on Canadaland's use of TraceMyIP, but no special tool is required. This is a core function of all web stat software. To hide your IP, use a VPN.

  11. The #Canadaland meltdown saga continues, with no response from Jesse or any of the staff.

    And the pool of people watching has widened to catch several former Carymastans. 🍿

  12. CW: Tl;dr of Jesse Brown Reddit Scandal

    So Jesse Brown of #Canadaland was able to gain mod access to r/Canadaland, a subreddit that he despises because people are highly critical of him.

    Once he gained mod access, he used it to send accounts links to "unpublished" webpages on Canadaland with a pixel tracker installed to reveal the Reddit users IP address. So far, weird, but not really doing anything.

    But! He was also sending unique webpages to journalists by email or social media so he could crossreference IP addresses to "reveal" critical accounts as journalists.

    Altogether a very weird conspiratorial minded ploy.

    People use VPNs and Tor, especially journalists. I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish, but I'm guessing he was trying to create some "gotcha" podcast episode talking about journalists "working against him in the shadows on Reddit," or something.

  17. Watching the "Jesse Brown phishes reddit users" show with a bucket of popcorn and a vague memory of saying to people that NO, ACTUALLY, YOU WOULDN’T JUST MAGICALLY "KNOW" THAT SOMEONE IS A TOXIC AND DANGEROUS EGOMANIAC, HOW DO YOU THINK JEFFREY'S DAHMER GOT PEOPLE TO COME OVER FOR DINNER?

    *cough*
    At least he has to pay his immediate enablers.

    (Five'll get you ten that the escalation into breakdown territory happened because of a chat with his favourite guest. Can't wait for him to start rambling on about CSIS.)

    I think these are all in order, and you should be able to read all of them in a browser (though not replies):

  22. Really good episode of Bad Hasbara this week on Jesse Brown's bullshit.

    If you're going to dip in just for a few minutes, I recommend starting at the 58 minute mark, where they talk about his bias and how he holds up his ignorance on the subject of the Israeli ethnic cleansing campaign as being a BASIS for his latest podcast series with out questioning what he might be missing and/or his emotional state on the subject.

  23. Great point from @jessebrown on #CanadaLand about the trade war and the upcoming federal election in #Canada: regardless of whether you're a #LPC, #NDP, #CPC, or #BlocQuebecois candidate, we don't want to see you spending a dime on electoral ads on Meta platforms or Elon's Nazi Xesspool, or, I would add, on any form of Google ad.

    Additionally, I for one will be looking for Amazon packages outside candidates' riding offices; I hope to see none. Canada before candidate; Canada before party. Put your money where your mouth is, all of you, and don't give those fascist oligarchs another dime.

    This is an infuriating interview. I have a lot of (dwindling...?) respect for Jesse Brown and echo his concerns about rising antisemitism, however I understand the basic fact that "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" in no way procludes the simultaneous freedom of Jewish people in the same territory.

    Dismissing the whole Pro-Palestinian movement because there are real instances of antisemitism at decentralised protests gets us no closer to peace because the systems of racism will be reflected in individuals in movements until racism is extinguished. The movement itself, its concerns and demands are not antisemitic. The racism is real though and must be dealt with, as too must we deal with the genocide and the occupation.

    In this sorry excuse of an interview, Jesse doesnt even refer to the occuparion as such. Jesse also fails to push back when the Ambassador is flippant and dismissive about Isreal being labaled "colonialist," but Isreal is committing textbook settler colonialism (which surely Jesse knows) and that is the root of the problem.
