This guy must have an alt, and that alt is one of the mods. It’s a bummer what r/winnipeg has become.

At this point it is ridiculous. He spams constantly, attempts to derail discussions with endless sperging about Southern Health. He's done everything possible to set the tenor of the forum as borderline hostile and tense and with the majority of posts endless stolen paywall links on variations about how much Southern Health is ruining everything for everybody, uses "Remind Me" links to attempt to intimidate people he's actually telling the truth, (when he's always wrong) posts hyperlinks to out-of-date information to make it seems like he has facts the back him up (but doesn't) and he acts smug and superior to anyone who suggests he behaves better,

Most gallingly of all, he daily does a "thoughts and prayers" about CoVid casualties in the most insincere way possible, trivializing real people's deaths for his own amusement. He is in short, an awful human being whose appalling behaviour would have had him kicked out of any rational reddit a long time before,

But not only does he continue unhindered to dominate the group, anyone who does more than the mildest of implied criticism of u/Armand9x specifically get their comments deleted by the moderator. Considering how rude and offensive his behaviour is to others then this is a tacit endorsement by the mods.

Ergo, he is a friend of one of the moderators. Or one of the moderators themselves being a troll to distract from their own personal misery in life.

I specifically wonder if u/analgesic1986 endorses this behaviour. He is the most public and forthcoming about his life and has said he has children, which, good for him. However:

1. What would his children think, of their father approving of this behaviour? Is this behaviour he wants his children to do to others as well?

2. Although he talks about his life with the paramedics, he's also talked about working security, does he think allowing this behaviour is something his employers would approve of, or is it a sign of a complete vacating of responsibility that his employers should be concerned about.

3. u/analgesic1986 has also said the Reddit is supposed to be fun, and people should not take it seriously. What does it say when you tacitly want something that is allegedly fun to be so toxic and mocking of other people. What does it say about you? As a husband and father?

For the u/winnipeg mods, why not just give u/Armand9x a temporary timeout? A week, a month tops.

Just enough to see what the groups will be like without him. What do you have to lose? Other than possibly one of the mods' alter egos, if he really is one.

So I broke down the past couple of weeks took this identity and jumped on because I was tired of how the Winnipeg reddit has become just an endless wail of depression about CoVid and how they seem to be weaponizing it in an attempt to keep people angry at the PCS (who are doing a terrible job, but at this point the mods seem to hate him to the point I half expect them to start saying he's harvesting adrenochrome)

I've definitely let loose with a few glibly sarcastic replies but those aren't the shadowbanned comments. The ones that have been having been me trying to elucidate a different philosophical more positive view than the one they are normalizing on the sub.

Here is the first, posted last night Feb 10.2021 on the daily CoVid thread:

"

To sum up this thread:

1. Manitoba numbers are trending down
2. We're not at ideal immunization levels, but we are still slowly getting there, so the results will be less dramatic than Italy, which we've never quite got there either these past few months despite the doomsayers.
3. There is a vaccine, and regardless of variants, we now have a better idea of what to do.
4. The vast majority of people survive this, and people who talk about lasting permanent damage use exactly one article about inconclusive results. We have had hundreds and thousands of people are infected and recover. If the results were as bad as people make it out to be, we would know about it. By now, by far more than one article.
5. As opposed to the Atlantic Provinces, one side of the country with smaller egress points or island/continents of Australia & New Zealand, Manitoba is a place that has four different land borders and is as much a place that shipments make their way through to other areas that the sort of lockdown raised by extremist voices on here is just not practical.
6. The vast majority of you are intelligent people with the capacity to love and be loved (yes, even you). Make sensible decisions, protect yourself in the ways that have always been recommended (wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands). This will be what will get us through this. Not hating other people. Not expecting the worst at all times. Ys, the government, is not handling this correctly, but blaming them instead of taking personal responsibility for yourself and your loved ones is how societies were formed in the first place.
7. We survived the Spanish Flu, Polio, The Bubonic Plague and worse. We are far better now technologically and scientific knowledge than we were back then. Protect yourself, but do not give in to despair, mainly by listening to the self-selecting extremist voices that jump on these threads a day in day out.
8. We're Winnipeg. We may have our flaws, but we're a pretty cool and since community when we stop and think about it. We're not going to be going away anytime soon because of this. We need to remember that."

The second was posted in a comment on this daily CoVid thread dated Feb 11 2021 in response to the pickle lady:

" The Doomsayers were right once: Thanksgiving. They were wrong about Easter, Victoria Day Weekend, Mother's Day, a Black Lives Matter Protest, Labour Day, School starting, Christmas and New Year's, School Restarting, and the first lessening of restrictions in 2021.

The motives are not just "We are all doomed!" There is constant calls for lockdowns, more authoritarianism, and that people are awful and need to be spied on.

If Winnipeg is truly to be a community, we have to have faith that most people are taking educated guesses, and are not trying to personally infect the doomsayers in this thread, (though it would be tempting, just to get them to shut them up) but are just trying to muddle along and do their best.

Yes, there are awful Karens and Kevins out there, but to imagine 99% of people to be so heartless and self-centred? It makes me wonder how the doomsayers keep going day to day since they envision a life more hellish to live than it would be to die.

I refuse to believe that, and I refuse to have self-selecting extremist voices dominate the conversation the point that viewpoint is the norm instead of the aberration it is."

See that? No insults, just a declaration of belief that the people of Winnipeg can be better than what the approved voices on the Winnipeg Reddit insist otherwise. That is what is being shadowbanned, presumably so as to just present me as "just" a troll or something.

It's sad really. I am a left-leaning mask-wearing socially-distancing person who is just alarmed at the extremism the mods are tolerating, and now I realize this is what they endorse.

Anyways, I don't plan on constantly subtweeting about them but I found this forum while trying to figure out what is going on, and I wanted this to be a public record of what they are doing on that Reddit. A little bit of evidence to show how craven and amateurish they are as mods. Now that I've determined that, I can ignore them from here on in, and going by the increasingly shrinkng levels of participation that Reddit is encountering (despite the paramedic mod talking around New Year's how much the Reddit has grown) they will soon drive everyone who actually can have good friendships and relationships outside their parent's basement.

Sad, really, Just sad to see Winnipeg mods like that who have so little else in their lives they have to do something like that because they feel that threatened by having someone not as miserable as them.

Pathetic.
