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.

Talking about lemmy in other subs about other stocks is perceived as dangerous to the superstonk community? I have no idea why they see it that way.

    I’m not up on the Reddit drama, so I don’t know where that mod team falls anymore, but I kind of hope whoever made those bans is trying to meta-game the Streisand effect to boost Lemmy.

    The alternative (and apparent) explanation is that someone is really that dumb. It makes me sad to entertain that line of thought.

    Seems like what we saw with the first book vs plan fiasco of "operational efficiency" shares, then again during the heat lamp theory, and now that Gensler clarified book vs plan they are going extra crazy... Tinfoil me thinks the sub mods are plants and are ok with DRS because plan still allows them to fuck with the stock, but once people book in mass they are screwed.

    If we hit resistance we know we're going the right way.

    The shfs want us to stabilize the stock at ~20 and that's why the mods are so ok with receipt porn and such, there are critical price lines the shfs need to be between, too high and interest screws them, too high too fast and FTDs screw them, too low and the DRS count will skyrocket. As per the net short volume post yesterday they averaged shorts at the $20 range and they plan to keep it at that and wait us out and people give up so they can absolutely tank it with less risk

    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.

    Incredibly idiotic. Jaw-dropping in both their incompetency and open fascistic inclinations.

    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.

    Sorry for this. 🙁 You always followed the rules. Clearly unfair. Perhaps even suspicious... 👀
