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.
With this move, any niggling doubts I had about the mod team at the fall out, new site and rebrand are gone.
You're here for free speech. This $GME play has united even the leftists who hate authoritarian overreach and the rich upper class. This isn't a power grab, this is someone who's been oppressed, sees the signs of it, and is ready to offer their infrastructure to help, and who do not want the credit. You respected their mods. You will un-name it from WSB so no affiliation if they ultimately don't need it.
Mods = Gods.
Pretty righteous moves.
