Believe it or not, I was banned from Reddit for trying to talk about DRS too much…

not hard to believe at all. Reddit's and superstonk's antagonism towards certain DRS conversations and the DRSGME.org team is one of the main reasons why this Lemmy instance exists in the first place. i wrote a post about it.

to this day, the mod team of superstonk is promoting Plan over Book, suggesting:

• investors should use scheduled recurring buys through Computershare (therefore putting their account into Plan)
• "it is insidious" that anyone ever suggesting people should turn off recurring buys
• it is sad that people sold fractional shares
• anyone who goes against the mod team is not acting in good faith

On the subject of good faith, the mods of superstonk:

• censored and banned all Plan versus Book discussions and DD in the superstonk subreddit
• they tried to censor any mention of such DD in other subreddits (r/DRSyourGME)
• when their attempts at total control failed, they pretended as if that DD was always welcome to have been posted in superstonk
• banned nearly everyone from the DRSGME.org team from the subreddit
• banned many other users who have otherwise questioned their authority
• now that most of the resistance to their authority has been eliminated from the subreddit, they continue to push the narrative that investors should engage in behaviors that result in their account being enrolled in Plan
• banned any mention of any alternative communities, banned the mere mention of the word "lemmy"

The superstonk mods have asserted their agenda over the subreddit and banned anyone that resisted their agenda. They ban anyone for suggesting that there are other places to go.

It's almost as if the superstonk mods really don't like pure DRS book, and they really don't like people going to any places that might discuss things that contradict their preferred agenda.
I have a very hard time understanding how this could be, unless I consider the possibility that they have ulterior motives.

That the Superstonk mods don't allow mention of "lemmy" OR make their own lemmy instance SPEAKS VOLUMES AND VOLUMES AND VOLUMES ABOVE AND BEYOND ANY OTHER BULLSHIT.

Truly, there's so much back and forth and bullshit floating around it's really hard to filter and discern much... but that Lemmy isn't advocated for and that they haven't created a "Superstonk Lemmy" tells you everything you fucking need to know.

Edit: on a slightly different note: the more people DMing people on Reddit about Lemmy the better. It takes little to no effort and can make a big difference if everyone reading now just DMs a few people each day about Lemmy.

Welcome! Sadly reddit has been suppressing DRS talk for awhile now but luckily we found a place to discuss and push for more advocacy

Welcome! We love DRS and self custody here. 😁

Welcome!! I use wefwef and it’s just like Apollo from the old days https://wefwef.app/ got used to it very quickly! Sadly many communities and users have not migrated, that’s the biggest problem 😔

I definitely recommend getting one of the apps. I'm using jerboa on Android, and on IOS there is voyager (and boost soon enough).

Hopefully this will be our forever home. It's improving with every passing week and there's no risk of being deplatformed for being DRS advocates!

plenty of good people have been banned from the main sub. welcome to Lemmy
