Yesterday, within about ten minutes of Bibic-Jr's Superstonk ban, I also received a ban notification from the Superstonk subreddit team.
The linked comment cited in the ban was on the beyond_uranus subreddit, a sub which does not discuss the same topics as Superstonk and a comment which did not mention or link Superstonk. The topic was regarding the sub owner advertising their own Lemmy community, which is also on this instance.
I'm also sharing my response to the mod team from about 24 hours ago - there has not been any reply from them yet. If I do get one I can share it here in a comment.
This offer stands for all GME and market reform communities who are looking to move away from Reddit as a platform and engage elsewhere. Reddit has become steadily more censorious with time, and the API changes and pending IPO make me skeptical that it is a proper long term solution for assembly.
Lemmy, by comparison, is open source / transparently moderated / communicates with other fediverse apps / free / is without influence of a for profit company / is without influence from advertisers.
I'm very glad this platform exists.
Absolutely crazy. Proactively searching r/Superstonk members comment history to ban? Why would they do this? Is there an AI that searches all things Superstonk that they're trying to censor results for?
Going to do a test. I was previously banned from Superstonk on a previous account for bringing up the obvious bed bath connections. I'm not subbed there now but I put a link to here on a comment in another sub. Going to join the sub now and see what happens. I will report back.
Nothing yet. My account age isn't even old to post on there so that might be a factor.
