Thank you for calculating this, @Zuberi.

r/superstonk’s loss is Lemmy’s gain!

I would only have noticed one of the two hidden names if not for the animation!

I love the Pac-Man meme!

“GameStop’s DRS Reporting History” from DRSGME shows the change in the DRS Reporting Language over time.

Since you’re making so much money on AI stocks, you don’t need to waste your time posting about GameStop. Just hire someone else to tell us to sell.

Good meme.

It certainly seems like the moderators are trying to influence discussions of the difference between DRS and Plan.

Good find!

For a dramatization of the Panama Papers, watch the comedy-drama film The Laundromat streaming on Netflix.

How about exchanging links with a GameStop-related community on a different Lemmy server? (Even if there is no other community specifically focused on DRS.) This could be a kind of social federation between related communities –– in addition to the baseline technological federation built into Lemmy.

That’s a good take. After just 2 - 3 years, people ask “Wen moon?” Compare to other corporate turnarounds or short seller conflicts.

Agreed!

Sometimes, not always, they are a zero-sum game: one person’s win is another person’s defeat.

Thanks for your comment –– you make some good points. While I agree that this conflict will have a winner and a loser, considering all of the stakeholders, I disagree that it is a zero-sum game. If the bears win, then a $5 billion company goes out of business, and 25,000 employees lose their jobs (negative sum). If the bulls win, then GameStop continues to provide value to customers –– and potentially enters into emerging markets like NFTs (positive sum).

How quickly did you expect Ryan Cohen to turn GameStop around? The conflict against short sellers of Herbalife took five years (“Bill Ackman Surrenders in His Five-Year War Against Herbalife”).

The check and balance on abuse of moderation is the right to migrate to a different community –– “voting with your feet.” Consider the meme “Apes during the last Great Ape Migration to Superstonk” (and many other memes). r/superstonk has infringed on this right by censoring references to Lemmy. DRSGME / WhyDRS has strengthened this right by using open source software, federating with other servers, and providing backups to certain users. Another way to strengthen the right to migration is to link to a related but credibly independent community. Some subreddits link to related subreddits in the sidebar. Judging from this comment by @jersan, theppshow community may or may not be sufficiently similar or sufficiently active. Can you think of a related community independent of the DRS Team? On Lemmy, Reddit, Twitter, or any platform.

I noticed in hindsight that this post is a repost. Credit to @Zuberi for posting “Jon Stewart, Gary Gensler spar over SEC oversight: ‘It’s not a level playing field,’ Gensler says” about a month ago. I didn’t find the original post when searching because it used a different title.

As the Energy (named by @jersan) has migrated between social media platforms, various moderators have tried to control and censor it. How can we prevent this? Open source software relies on The Tentacles of Evil test. This says that even if the developer turns evil or gets bought out, then their software must still remain open source.

Imagine a future whether the moderation of this community turns evil. Let’s preemptively break our own containment by linking in the sidebar to related communities controlled by independent parties (such as [email protected] as @SubDRSive mentioned). If the links are removed, then they are the canaries in the coal mine, showing that this community is compromised. If the links remain, then the Energy can move freely.

Thanks for the heads up! The 663 upvotes on the Reddit post show that even a one-sentence edit in Wikipedia can get noticed!

I’m always looking for opportunities to break the containment, so I sent the following message to /u/ShredManyGnar:

I just read your post “I do not concede defeat” on r/superstonk about Cede and Company. We’re working on a project to edit Wikipedia to provide the facts about DRS and GameStop. For more information, please check out the following post on Lemmy:
