I'm surprised they haven't formed stonkchan and begun migrating there. If they don't use this moment to formalize self-managed comms, they're not going to be a community for much longer, given they're putting the squeeze on people to the order of billions of dollars.
Reddit is catching flack. It's only a matter of time before they pull the pin for some ambiguous reason.
It's the perfect time to start funneling the audience to a dedicated forum (or literally a chan).
> I read WSB daily for years and cannot recall a single usage of a racial slur. Same, I've been a subscriber of WSB since at least 4 years ago. I also check TheDonald.win (now Patriots.win) on a regular basis. Both are constantly accused of racism and/or white supremacy and yet I see none of either. People use terms like 'racist', 'nazi', 'fascist' and many others as synonyms for "any person or thing I don't like or…
> On both Discord and Reddit, wallstreetbets users frequently refer to themselves collectively as “retards” and “autists,” and have been known to deploy the kinds of racial slurs and deliberately offensive language that have become commonplace in 4chan-style posting forums. I read WSB daily for years and cannot recall a single usage of a racial slur. They definitely referred to themselves as autists/retards in a self…
I fail to see how 'autist' is any less of a slur than e.g. 'trap' or 'gay', when used in the right (wrong) context.

"We're suffering from success and our Discord was the first casualty. You know as well as I do that if you gather 250k people in one spot someone is going to say something that makes you look bad.

Yeah this was a low blow from Discord I get they're probably scared as hell, but they don't even take care of the child porn or child grooming Discords. It's not even slightly paranoid to say that somebody gave financial incentive to make this happen, but for them to censor with absolute bullshit reasoning behind it... This is just not good.
I don't, what should they be scared of?

In a way, it's amazing how fast we revert to pointless nonsense news. Hopefully the news cycle sweeps this away quickly.

That's good and bad because communities can't be shut down when they shouldn't, and can't be shut down when they should.
