I can say that the local subreddit is one of the most heavily policed with the result that during the covid pandemic a large fraction of the casual posters were banned because they couldn't keep track of what new rule was introduced in what day.

A lot of people moved over to telegram channels because you could actually ask questions without getting banned for concern trolling, misinformation or incitement - e.g. asking where protests were happening which is what got me banned finally. Ironically I was asking where they were happening so I could avoid them.

The result of that policing is that I now have a telegram account and regularly scan a dozen right wing channels so I know if I can buy groceries without getting tear gassed.

If this is what winning looks like for the left we don't need help in losing.
