Anti-censorship

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.

When Plan vs Book conversations come up, the superstonk mods have many rhetorical words they like to use such as "there is no wrong way to hold GME".

And yet, a post like this shows up using similar rhetoric but concluding that shares should be put in pure DRS book, and this post gets removed without any explanation provided as to why. It's as if they don't actually believe the words when they say "there is no wrong way to hold GME".

The reason why there is any significance to this is because it is part of a larger pattern of behaviors from the mod team of superstonk that demonstrates that those mods have an agenda that is not in alignment with the community itself.

with respect to Plan vs Book, superstonk mods:

  • In late 2022 and for a while afterwards, in discussions of Plan vs Book, deliberately and persistently inserted their confusing template message into conversations that suggested that there is no real distinction between Plan and Book and in conclusion it's okay and maybe even preferable to hold shares in Plan
  • From 2023 onwards heavily censored all discussion of Plan vs Book
  • Censored heatlamp DD that was posted on the DRSyourGME subreddit as heavily as possible though they ultimately failed to contain the discussions
  • after their failed attempt to censor it, pretended as if the OP of the DD had always been welcome to post it on superstonk and that they were confused as to why that OP wouldn't post it there even after they so graciously invited them to
  • Publicly denounced and mischaracterized the DRSGME.org team for their actions regarding the stockholder list
  • banned nearly everyonoe from the DRSGME.org team from superstonk
  • banned many other individuals that resisted their authority
  • to this day continue to advocate for Plan over Book
  • to this day continue to accuse anyone that doesn't agree with them of acting in bad faith
  • to this day continue to remove posts and otherwise censor and contain the notion that shares should maybe be put in pure DRS book

It is sincerely questionable why those mods consider the Plan vs Book discussion to be so controversial and at the same time to use their authority to favor one side of the argument over the other. They either don't see the damage that their actions have caused to the subreddit, or they see it but they are unconcerned about it. It seems as if Plan vs Book is the hill that they will destroy the subreddit on, if that is what it takes.

Another example of "Plan is not DRS" being removed from superstonk for rule 6.

Rule 6 states:

  1. Back Up Claims With Sources Our biggest strength is our ability to crowd-source information. For the Integrity of the sub, and in order to rule out Misinformation or FUD, please cite your sources when making claims. Making any Call-to-Action posts or comments without verifiable sources is not allowed. Speculation is allowed under the Speculation/Opinion flair.

Apparently, making the accurate distinction that plan is not DRS somehow violates that rule.

The simple fact is that superstonk mods have repeatedly demonstrated that they have an agenda, and that agenda includes censoring any discussion about the distinction of plan and book, and specifically the fact that Plan is not DRS.
