      Reddit nuked sub which was getting millions of views daily. Sub is mostly discussing stock ticker bbbyq and the potential behind it. Community has not been informed why specifically it was banned but at this point who cares. Fuck Reddit.

        Hell yeah, I been here since the summer. It’s more niche, it’s more cozy feeling, less populated, but it functions the same. It’s a decent alternative to the spezler website

      Palladium Tarnish or some other not-real person felt like they were being attacked because their online persona that isn’t them in real life started to feel like their anonymous online persona was actually real and being attacked by people on X, so the most logical thing to do is ban them on another platform.

    I really hope this becomes the defacto forum for this community. I’ve been dabbling in the Lemmyverse and it seems like the most appropriate solution at this time. Not only am I suspicious of Twitter/X, but it is a terrible design for forum-like interaction - in that regard Reddit’s format really is ideal, and that’s what Lemmy has emulated.

      Further, I’ll say this community should no longer the “property” of PP, but the collective we’ve become. We are all individual investors making our own decisions & enjoying this unique community of people, not PPseeds himself - in fact I’ve watched maybe 5 minutes of the show ever; can’t stand it, and certainly don’t have time to listen to 4hrs of BS for maybe a few minutes of solid content. This community, though, is special. Nowhere else that I’ve found allows for big-picture discussions outside of specific stock tickers, and I do appreciate the GME/Butterfly/IEP (and more) theories & tinfoil.

      Again, fuck Twitter/X. Any links to that awful platform should be through nitter.net like a condom.

        I often don’t have 4 hours for dildo slaps, but they are funny as fuck. I do have infinite time for some Region_Formal blue boxes, Travis’s accounting depth or Dr. Jakes insights into logic flows to an outcome, so I prefer the written to the show for actual deep DD, but love the show for the people, the insights and the speculation.

      I’m working with ppseeds to set up a dedicated Lemmy server that isn’t dependent on any external arbiter.

        this is the best news i’ve heard all day. this is the ideal solution. An internet community that is owned and operated and administered by the community participants, not some centralized authority.

        Nobody can deplatform you when you are your own platform host. it takes work but the reward is autonomy and freedom to communicate.

        @[email protected] is the instance administrator for that instance and has already gained experience in the business of hosting a lemmy instance. you could possibly reach out to them if you have any questions or are looking for direction.

          Thanks - I’m hoping other experts step up to help run this, I have a day job that is fairly busy

        It’s a good question - we are on the Lemmy.world aggregated server currently, but I’m working on setting up a server we own to host the instance.

        Anyone want to help?

        I know we’re all flying by the seat of our pants atm but once things form up a little better will PP & Co make an announcement/ELI5 post on where to find things?

        Dabbling and figuring out some of these new sites (including X even)- but somewhat anxious on losing/missing messages. Perfect example: “what’s the difference between this lemmy server (you made?) Versus a ‘dedicated’ one?”

        Thank you for all you do and Happy 🦃 to you and your family!

    Great work Ross. Thanks for creating this community here.

    I was just about to respond to your comment on Reddit but that thread was locked before I could.

    Ross, could you please go on the pp show live stream tonight and bring up the discussion of Lemmy?

    by the way the link you provided did not work, you’ll want to use: https://lemmy.world/c/theppshow

      Thanks for the corrected link and yes, I will be promoting Lemmy once I pass control to PP and team. I don’t have time to Mod nor do I want to, but want to make sure this lands well.

      Also wouldn’t hurt to mention the whynotdrs lemmy instance on the show as well since it’s about mainly bbby as well as gme. Cheers all! 🦍💜🦍
