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.
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
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!
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 I’m a little late, but any way I can still be of help? Financially or otherwise?
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.
Can’t wait to see what bullshit reason they have for banning the sub. I’ve seen other subs with crazy amounts of hate speech and racism and they don’t even get quarantined, let alone banned. Reddit is a joke.
Tell your friends to stop using it! Lemmy is much better.
I am done with Reddit now.
If you wish to learn who rules over you, simply find who you cannot criticize.
Reddit’s reason is: “because we said so”
it doesn’t really matter what their justification is. it’s their platform, we are always subject to their centralized authority. if they decide they don’t like a community, on any weak or strong justification, they reserve the right to get rid of that community.
What is this community about? What happened?
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.
We lost our sub here’s a little context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYGzd-8UTEY&t=1823
I never knew about lemmy but it’s awesome to get away from fucking reddit.
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
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! 🦍💜🦍
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.
Thank you Ross! For those that don’t know DRSyourGME was also banned from reddit and have taken refuge here:https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/
nice to see the Lemmy lifeboat
It’s rare for any event to spur me into action. This did it though. Reddit app deleted and am joining every backup community I come across.
Thanks for creating Ross!
Never heard of Lemmy… hopefully not as compromised as Reddit and can be a bit like what it used to be pre GME 😂
the structure is quite different from reddit and cannot be “compromised” the same way reddit can.
on reddit, all subreddits are subject to the single centralized authority of Reddit Inc. If Reddit Inc. doesn’t like your community, they can and will get rid of it. that simple.
On Lemmy, every instance / server is independent of all other servers. you are still subject to the authority of the instance administrators, and just like on Reddit, if you are on an instance and for some reason those admins don’t like you, whether because you are breaking the rules or for some other reason, they too reserve the ability to get rid of you from their platform.
but, the beauty of the fediverse is that anyone is able to start their own instance if they wanted to. if you have a specific topic that you want to have a community for in the fediverse, but some instances don’t want your community on their instance, you can always find a new instance or start your own. nobody can stop you from starting your own instance.
Does this mean that lemmy could be used as a durable repository for DD? Or are servers/instances subject to wipes for reasons out of the control of the communities? It sounds like the vulnerability is still there, just in a different and less corporate form. Like a BBS in a lot of ways.
there are flaws with any platform and lemmy has numerous.
the administrator of an instance could decide to shut down the instance, and everything hosted on that instance would become unavailable to everyone else.
so, i personally would not depend on any single lemmy instance to necessarily be an invincible repository for DD. anything can happen.
ape historian (apehistorian.com), aka u/elegant-remote6667 on Reddit, has been backing up reddit threads from superstonk and wallstreetbets and maybe a few other subreddits but i don’t think theppshow subreddit. So, lots of stuff is backed up by this individual on his own equipment.
there are other solutions for long term record keeping, but everything will always be changing. i now have to go and find archive links for a bunch of ppshow subreddit links because i can no longer get them from reddit.
Being cautious, we should store DD on pastebin or a similar doc site and link to it from Lemmy.
that is certainly an option that could work.
Alternatively, anyone is capable of manually archiving any web page using archive.org. DD authors that are extra diligent can make their DD in Lemmy (warning: unless i am mistaken, Lemmy posts have a character limit of 10,000 characters) and then take the link to that post and paste it into the box on archive.org to Save Page Now
archive.org likely contains the vast majority of posts from the pp show, however finding them would be the tricky part.
So, Is this the new PPshow?
Honestly, it has to be multiplatform going forward. This is one place, twitter is another, but we also need to use pastebin for DD that we don’t want Sparkled into oblivion
Unless it becomes unbanned on Reddit, which isn’t likely.
there is zero reason to assume that reddit is going to backtrack on their decision. they wanted that community off their platform, and they have now made it so.
I think the BBBY sub is next to go
good to see peeps here. so tired of all the corruption in everything
Great job setting this up so quickly, very happy to be deleting reddit 👍🏼
Howdy howdy howdy! Always remember that there’s no such things as a coincidence in what we’re involved with. Considering what we were waiting for today, the timing was no accident.

This is the 100% right advice

Thanks for putting this together so quickly Mr. Ross Boss!
Gotta use those tech skills before they atrophy…
Fuck yes Ross. This is such a better format than X
