I also hold GME and lurked in Superstonk. Some time ago I had read Ryan Cohen bought a lot of BBBY stock. So I bought some too and loosely followed that subreddit. August 2022 RC supposedly “sold” his BBBY position. I can’t say I had any foresight into what the bigger picture was but I believed RC was still involved, besides if I sold my bbby I would have lost money. So I held and bought more. In the spring a fella named PPSeeds started a YouTube channel and subreddit (not sure of dates) where you can get together and shoot the shit, perhaps talking about your favorite stock in a non financial advice way… For me, we flash forward to post July when my third party Reddit app stopped working. I tried Lemmy but ultimately went back to the stock Reddit app. I was getting all sorts of weird subreddit recommendations, things I’ve never seen before (sidenote I now know what “Snoots and Boots” refers to, lol). One interesting subreddit recommendation the native app offered was ThePPShow. I found where a lot of the OG apes had migrated to and it became my go-to place. Yesterday ThePPshow subreddit was shut down without explanation from the Reddit mods and we scattered to X communities and @hey_ross was smart and quick enough to snag us a a Lemmy community. I hope we gain a good foothold here as it seems like a stable platform where future DD posts can’t be removed.
