The most requested community in the past week: WallstreetBets

We've been following the situation, not wanting to release a WSB community without having their mods onboard. Well, we still don't have their mods on board. We talked to them in mid-2020, but never came to an agreement.

We hope that they don't get banned from Reddit (we'd pick up a good portion of that traffic, so don't do it, Steve.)

Having said that... the WSB Discord server just got banned (for hate, by the way), and it's very possible that the subreddit suffers the same fate...

Our unofficial WSB Win site:

https://wsbets.win/ or c/wsbets

We've had some well known WSB users reach out asking for us to set this up, and even some people who have been involved in the running of WSB, but to be very clear, this is NOT officially affiliated with the WSB subreddit (but we'll hand it over to them when they want it)

Update: WSB is NOT banned on Reddit. It's private, which is normally a decision by the moderators.

You're gonna need a massive amount of server space to handle that traffic. 780K simultaneous, 100K posts an hour or more, 3.3MM users. TO THE MOON! Let's GO!

"The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."
