In case you had any remaining doubts about the viability of reddit as a forum for discussing gme…
Recently, all of the best info on gme came from that subreddit: Discussions, debates, ideas, amazing and fresh DD. Reddit didn’t have control of the narrative on that sub and as such, the content was noticeably better.
Makes me bullish that hedgies are still fucked.
Also, I am sooo done with Reddit. But, we will need a new community. Can Lemmy be that new place for our favorite stonk?
Hopefully. Why was it banned ?
If you try to navigate to r/drsyourgme it says something like, “subreddit banned for multiple rule violations.” This is pretty much what everyone was predicting for r/superstonk when the brigading rules were being enforced. Looks like they would rather control the narrative coming from r/superstonk and ban the smaller gme subreddits.
That is my speculation of what is going on. Probably should have told ya to put a tinfoil hat on.
Edit: actually I just checked again. It officially says “This community was banned for repeatedly violating Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct.” That actually makes this feel more like a power move, “mods didn’t do what we want, let’s ban their subreddit”. Also,I feel like the reason was initially more vague. Did they change it?
Have they broken them before? I mean good riddance to a cesspool. Shame about the sub though. Better to get out into less restrictive internet’s? Or whatever this is called. Decentralized?
I’ve created GMECanada on the lemmy-verse.
If you’re not on lemmy.ca but another instance, search for [email protected] in the Communities search, or “DRS GME” for others and subscribe to link across instances.
Someone’s also created drs_your_gme ([email protected]). Same procedure if you’re not on their home instance.
EDIT: fixed links.
Fantastic - I will give these communities a visit for sure!
