The Reddit ban made me think I’d find the community here… Is there another sub somewhere or…?

    I think this community will grow, it’ll just take some time and getting used to the layout and format. I’ll admit I’m going through the learning curve right now but Reddit will be so insanely compromised once they go live with their IPO and decentralization is the way - so I’m willing to go through the discomfort now to reap the rewards later.

      This is a big thing that, I think, many miss - including myself.

      Lemmy is decentralized - which brings with it a lot of different benefits and drawbacks. Currently, one drawback is a relative dearth of users compared to some other platforms. That will most certainly change, though.

    I was looking for an exit from super stonk since redacted started. Some of us know what to do but not how to get there.

      Spread the word when possible but be careful. I got perma banned from there simply for putting our lemmy url in a comment

    Makes me think how about how many bots and fake apes there really r……I imagine there’s a ton of baby apes too who have bought some GME in their broker or robinhood/cash app and participate in the Reddit communities more for social interaction than actually being a part of the play on any sort of serious level

      Most of us like myself probably just zen as fk and doesn’t bother as much. We know what needs to be done and continue to do so.

    Was very confusing to get on here. I don’t like the name confusion. Drsgme? Whydrs? Whynotdrs?

    Stick to one name! Make it easy to spread the word. I don’t trust discord. Feel it’s already compromised. Still not sure of this place yet

      Sorry about the confusion! We were not able to host this instance on the same URL without breaking the federation of the instance.

      DRSGME.org is specifically GME focused when providing DRS resources.

      The WhyDRS.org project aims to bring the same DRS resources but to all other publicly traded stocks.

      The lemmy.whynotdrs.org instance is here to provide a space to discuss them both, along with other stocks and market forces.

      You’re smart to not trust Discord. It’s just another for profit private company like Reddit and so many other social medias.

        Are you or how are you affiliated with drsgme? And how come they don’t directly link you. I think they link the discord. For now I do trust drsgme…

        I won’t waste my time with other drs projects. I think you at risk or are actively diluting the focus to DRS GME.

          This instance is directly affiliated, and linked in the header and footer (desktop) and footer (mobile) on both project sites DRSGME.org and WhyDRS.org.

          I’m a member of the team. Appreciate your skepticism, which is always a good trait, and that you find our resources helpful.

          I’ll be appearing with Miller and Bibic on a twitter space on Wednesday, if you want to hear more from us and about this instance.
