I’m just glad to see that it is clear to the community of GME investors on superstonk and elsewhere that the mods of that subreddit do not represent the consensus.

To be mods of superstonk should be to act as stewards for the community, responsible for keeping things orderly, and that’s it. In stead what we are seeing are a group of mods who have somehow obtained those positions and have taken it upon themselves to decide certain subjects that the community can and cannot talk about.

And ultimately I think this is a good thing. Actions by Reddit, and by mods of communities on reddit provide a continued reminder and justification for the necessity of embracing alternative platforms for discussion, such as the fediverse and this Lemmy instance.

I only expect the censorship on Reddit to increase as time goes on. We already know that big moneyed interests have their hands deep into Reddit, and they will continue to take actions to their benefit and to our detriment, and the fediverse will continue to demonstrate itself as the viable alternative that provides us with the space to talk openly about important topics of conversation.

Primary sources aren’t good enough now? I can’t see why anyone would be claiming to know better than the SEC. I mean I don’t agree with a lot of the SECs actions (or lack thereof), but I wouldn’t dispute the veracity of their bulletins! They’re lawyers for goodness sake! They take painful efforts to triple check things.
