Looks like people are migrating to https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetbetsnew/
Well when places like /r/sino exist I think they are safer on Reddit than anywhere else for now. Reddit seems to be ok with hosting anything.
Corporate America is getting scary... I think that their actions could be initiated by the U.S. Government...

That’s the joke. The SEC pursues the mostly harmless while letting the sharks go free. Did they do anything about naked short selling of Overstock stock? Nope, and now that it’s happened again and retail took advantage of a bad trade, the rules suddenly change “to protect the little guy.” It’s disingenuous at a minimum, and crony capitalism when taken to the maximum. Are they doing anything about Nancy Pelosi (her hu…
> Nothing against Pelosi Nothing against Pelosi? If that's as it appears to me (trading on insider information, by a person in a position of public trust no less) she needs to be heavily fined, in prison, or both.
Nice one Discord, you just radicalized 2 million WSB subscribers and everyone else who hears about it. Well done.

well the r/wsb subreddit has gone private too. We are experiencing technical difficulties based on unprecedented scale as a result of the newfound interest in WSB. We are unable to ensure Reddit's content policy and the WSB rules are enforceable without a technology platform that can support automation of this enforcement. WSB will be back. This seems like a DDOS attack on r/wsb well knowing that the moderators canno…
I would assume ; Deny your enemy everything you can. - ie communication. And yes I am insinuating that this is wall street money pulling strings.

The r word isn’t nice. But that cannot be the reason to ban the server. This sounds like an excuse. They mention fraud several times -but say it’s NOT because of fraud— but I almost perceive a wink when they mention it like that.
There is nothing wrong with the word retard. It’s a legitimate dictionary word. Every few years the PC police has to arbitrarily decide that something is morally unfashionable and then they convince everyone that if they don’t replace it with an equivalent string, they’re somehow bad people. It makes no sense and everyone goes along with it. Whatever the current replacement is, that will probably be disallowed in a f…
>Discord says it did not ban the server for financial fraud — rather, it was banned because it continued to allow “hateful and discriminatory content after repeated warnings.” Funny how that works. If they're not careful, people might start to think 'Hate Speech' could be misused to pursue an agenda. 'It's not that I disagree with what they are doing, they should have just called each other assholes instead of the X…
It's an open chat platform. Yes it can be manually moderated, but all it takes is one guy posting something they know is bannable for admins to be within the rules to ban a server. Pretty convenient.
For all the uneasy feelings I get about the triggerhappy banning by these platforms, there's probably a light at end of the tunnel. Boot enough people and the better alternatives might actually flourish with network effects.
Apparently 4chan floods with increase in traffic after such waves. 8chan , which was far better, went under for it though.
The description of wallstreetbets is literally "as if 4chan found a bloomberg terminal", so I don't know what else anyone expected other than 4chan-like-behavior.
Apparently a lot of people don't want there to be a place where 4chan-like-behavior can be found on the Internet.
Did Melvin actually close their positions? Some are claiming they haven't.
