Keeping EH! Kind: How (and Why) We will Moderate Content
When we dreamed up EH! we pictured welcoming town hubs, Saturday-market photos, neighbourly advice, and the occasional snow-day meme. What we didn’t picture: harassment threads, misinformation storms, or graphic shock posts. To keep EH! feeling like the friendly early-internet spaces we miss, we’ve adopted moderation principles inspired by Pinterest’s community guidelines and tailored them to our own “local-first” mission. Here’s the inside look at how it all works.
Lost in the Algorithm: Why Small Businesses Struggle to Be Seen Online — and How EH! Can Help
In the age of global platforms, it's never been easier to launch a business — but it’s also never been harder to be seen.
If you're a Canadian small business owner, you know the struggle. You’re pouring your heart into handmade goods, local services, or unique experiences, only to get buried beneath big-budget brands and algorithmic noise. Your posts vanish in a sea of content. Your store gets outranked by global giants. Your community? Scattered across apps that weren’t built with you in mind.
How EH! Uses AI… and How We Don’t
We believe technology should serve people, not the other way around.
That’s why we’re careful, intentional, and transparent about how we use AI.
The short of it:
We will use AI in the future to keep your feeds relevant by removing content that pushes negative views and to help us uphold our content guidelines… not to manipulate, monetize, or monitor your every move.
Why Canada Needs Its Own Social Media NETWORk (and Why EH! Is It)
Picture this: you post a photo of your favourite poutine spot and, within minutes, neighbours you’ve never met chime in with hidden‑gem gravy tips. That’s the magic of a Canadian social media platform—a digital town square that speaks our language (literally and culturally) while keeping our data on home soil.
