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

We need to make more people aware of this sub

[–] MozooZ@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

DMing people on reddit will make a big difference.

[–] RCisthename@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 5 points 2 years ago

I’ve been messaging people from Reddit that post or comment about censorship. Hit them with our lemmy instance link lemmy.whynotdrs.org

[–] Latman3@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 4 points 2 years ago

Flair is the way!

[–] regolith@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 22 points 2 years ago

we're all just chilling

[–] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 years ago

Well for one thing there aren't bots or shills

[–] Hey_Ross@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It will get busier. There are literally dozens of us.

[–] liquidsyphon@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 11 points 2 years ago

I just got here! With more to follow!

I just got here give it time. No bots here lol

[–] manbeef@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 13 points 2 years ago

We're coming. 🫡

[–] falconeggbeach@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The suppression over there is working somewhat.

[–] MozooZ@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 5 points 2 years ago

It is. Though, won't last long.

[–] bibic_jr@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We're on Discord too. I can send the invite link if you haven't had one already.

[–] falconeggbeach@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But Discord sucks. They demand phone numbers if you try to be private. Typical evil big tech.

[–] Chives@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Discord is definitely not the long term solution. I don't believe any for profit centralized platform could be.

[–] MozooZ@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 4 points 2 years ago

First I've heard of it. Thanks for the link.

Let the great migration begin!

[–] Darkhoof@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't think so. However, this community is not on Lemmy.world and is not discoverable in their search tool, which doesn't help.

[–] Chives@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These communities are on a separate instance than lemmy.world, but both instances are federated and can interact with each other.

The more users of this instance go and interact on lemmy.world servers (comments will show this home instance name) folks may click and join in.

And if you signed up on lemmy.world and subscribed to any of the communities here it will show up in their "all" feed over there.

Just made it here. Nice to be able to comment. Low karma kept me lurking. Never cared enough to farm for that much karma to meet limits

[–] IntwadHelck@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kiraente@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] DozensOfDonner@mander.xyz 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really don't understand lemmy anyway so i'm already surprised there is anyone here. hey guys, what's up

[–] MozooZ@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 11 points 2 years ago

It will get bigger. (that's what ... he said?)

[–] UncleNuks@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MozooZ@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] smallcutfart@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Chives@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] smallcutfart@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Chives@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 8 points 2 years ago

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.

And it’s not like this place has taken off. I’d redo it all without the confusion.

[–] Fresh@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 2 points 2 years ago

Discord is definitely a piece of spyware at this point. Telegram is a better option at this point in time.

[–] TheKudzu@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] RCisthename@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 2 points 2 years ago

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