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.
Wow, what a time to be alive. As with any first-world conflict in the 21st century, the revolution, too, will be fought with money. Populist America just declared a Trade War on the ruling class, and it's glorious. They've been forced to expose their hand on an issue untainted by partisanship and ideological struggles. Discord banned WSB for "hate speech" and Financial Times, Vice and CNN Politics tried to tie the subreddit and the Gamestop squeeze to "white supremacy." CNBC called this "foreign interference." They thought all those same tricks they've been using against the populist right would work again against the retail trading community. LMAO. If anything, this is going to wake up a lot of everyday people who will see these kinds of accusations and go, "oh bullshit! I use that subreddit and I know it's not racist ...wait a minute, where have I heard this before..."
