Censorship is bad, and is often difficult to seek accountability for (because such attempts are themselves censored).

This community exists as a safe place to report on instances and patterns of censorship among pro-GME, pro-DRS, and financial transparency accounts/content.

RULE: Due to the unfortunate risk of escalating tensions, please limit content in this community to factual record. Please do not include commentary on presumed motivations, intentions, shillery, name-calling, etc. If such commentary is included in screenshots, it must be redacted out.

Sharing my ban message from Superstonk as well. Banned for brigading for a comment which wasn't on Superstonk - or even a GME subreddit. (lemmy.whynotdrs.org)

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.

Unbelievable . And the hypocrisy. I was going back and for with Spark on a twitter space. After she said Superstonk encourages others to make communities elsewhere, but she didn't respond to why mentioning other places is not allowed in Super (specifcally LemmY) which could have no brigading possibility, or voting for that matter. So somehow I guess you're supposed to reach out to others who may be interested in similar topics but not where they go to discuss those topics outside Super, and at the same time you're banned for participating in that community from then on. Unfreakinbelievable really.
