Anyone who's committed a 'sin' should be banished from the community. Guess now in a few hundred years cycle again and we'll discover the legal system and curtail the power of the new church. History repeats.

Problem is there are no competitors worth mentioning.
Disclaimer: Excuse me if my statements are possibly utterly wrong due to me not having ever used Discord. Wikipedia says: > Discord is an American VoIP, instant messaging and digital distribution platform designed for creating communities. Don't we have a metric fton of instant messengers which support VoIP and some file transfer? What's so special about Discord? To me as an outsider it merely seems like the kids hav…
Additionally, it was stupid easy to evade bans on those platforms and troll for hours if Admins weren't on.

Some posts below said that banning for hate speech was really a charade. But if that's true, what's wrong with retail investors pooling their resources to squeeze short? How is it different from a hedge fund pooling resources to flex their muscle of financial engineering?
There wouldn't be anything wrong with that. There'd be a lot right with it, honestly - I would be trumpeting it as a clear victory of the little guy over snobby funds who don't think anyone else can understand finance. But what's happening right now is almost certainly a pump and dump with a short squeeze as a facade. I've seen a lot of commenters who seem to be grievously misled about the actual mechanics of a short…

There is no pump and dump scheme that haven't been allowed by the hedge funds for decades.
Why does everybody assume there is not some hedge fund behind this short squeeze? Do hedge funds not know how to do social media marketing? Why go on CNBC to announce your position when you can pay some kids and influencers to shitpost on wsb to rile up an online mob and leave no fingerprints? It is crazy to me how ppl continually fall for this stuff? How does any mass online movement not trigger skepticism? I mean l…
I always thought that Kony 2012 was just a dry-run for these sorts of things. I've never been able to figure out who did it though.
Discord would claim its “hateful and discriminatory content” for anything in the fucked up reality we are currently living in. For instance, if you call someone retarded and a mod doesn't step in, that is considered hateful. Even though retard is in the dictionary and a widely accepted term by many people. Then saying that only retards buy the shit hedgefunds are peddling would also be considered discriminatory. I'm…
Mailing lists for slow stuff and IRC for throw away realtime chats.

And they chose today as the best possible time to enact this ban? Really? I really think they should have put more thought into the timing of this decision; a lot of users are going to be upset and will suddenly start to realize that a single company has a monopoly on their online social life (this may seem like an exaggeration, but it feels quite true to me colloquially, especially if you're a younger US male and/or…

You're being moderated for rudeness and not your opinion.

You have the right to say whatever you want and I have the right to throw you out of my house for it. Don't complain about the 'PC police' when the truth is that no one is interested in unoriginal arguments made poorly.
Grow up.

WSB goes private all the time. They do it to "cool the jets" so to speak. They will likely be doing it a lot more in the coming days.
