This post was reported, and often I will leave up a post once I’ve read through the report and decided that it should stay up. In this case, since I’m the one that posted it, it doesn’t feel right resolve the reports without a comment.
I left up the post because I think the reporter misunderstood what this was, which is my fault because I didn’t take the time to explain when posting. If people still think it’s inappropriate, I’ll remove it and not post these in the future.
The Canadian Internet Registration Authority is the not-for-profit org that manages the .ca TLD. They have grants for infrastructure and community projects, and they’re involved in the Fediverse through their partnership with the mstdn.ca Mastodon server.
Going off of their history and past work, I felt that the guide was in good faith and that it would be good to highlight some Canadian creators instead of large corporations. I don’t think they’re sneakily making money by highlighting these businesses, and so I left up the post.
