Proud to be subscriber #16! I don't understand why there aren't more people migrating here due to reddit api debacle. Why would we run to another centralized platform, YT Gangnam style, instead of this in case of emergency?

"Thanks Mark, and hi everyone. I will speak briefly. My father always told me: ‘talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words.’ My responsibility is to make sure GameStop is run by managers who treat company money like their own. In corporate America, the people in charge, the professional directors and management teams, are not aligned with shareholders. They are always the recipients of stock grants, however they rarely purchase company shares with their own savings. There is a big difference between risk-free compensation for showing up, and putting a meaningful amount of your own money at risk. As a result, money is wasted, work is relegated, and a lot of time is spent managing to short expectations and pandering to Wall Street. I like people who roll up their sleeves and do real work. People guided by principles. Not robots who seek to rest and invest. In corporate America, there’s no shortage of overpaid executives, bad capital allocation and chronic waste, and serial delegators. Much of this behavior is both predictable and reprehensible. It is precisely what creates opportunities. Thank you for being a shareholder."

Can anyone explain this to me? There were several issues with Reddit discussed widely in the community, i.e. the brigading rules. Yet, now that Reddit screws over the customer even more with their API stunt, no one cared and the GME subs did not even participate in the Blackout. It would have been the perfect opportunity to migrate here or to other alternatives.

This is all you need to see to understand why we need to have a backup in the fediverse. Power to the Creators.

In case you had any remaining doubts about the viability of reddit as a forum for discussing gme...

Recently, all of the best info on gme came from that subreddit: Discussions, debates, ideas, amazing and fresh DD. Reddit didn't have control of the narrative on that sub and as such, the content was noticeably better.

Makes me bullish that hedgies are still fucked.

Also, I am sooo done with Reddit. But, we will need a new community. Can Lemmy be that new place for our favorite stonk?

I find it pretty funny, the Sub fighting against market manipulation can't even follow a simple system to rally against capitalism.

Honestly makes so much sense that this fiasco isn't put to bed when the sub can't follow simple steps. SUB should be dark in protest but no. Couldn't manage something as simple as just not logging on. No wonder DRS is barely moving

Are we able to get a stream onto Lemmy. Keeps us off reddit?

creator here was really on the ball huh?

Personally I think that /r/superstonk should've shown solidarity with Reddit/ an indefinite blackout. People claiming 3rd party apps and the API issues weren't important did not sit well with me. I bet our reddit mods were not using new, IPO ready Reddit to do their work.

I hope some more of us join up here.

This the new hangout

I saw on r/undelete that this post was deleted. The powers-at-be are trying to control the narrative.

I also confirmed for myself that the allegation aginst google is true; "perjury" and even "lie" will not autocomplete after "ken griffin"

I like this as a backup, and just to keep safe from manipulation if it gets really out of hand.
