Reddit was down... So I made a Superstonk alternative in Lemmy.

To be honest, I am glad to be away. The community went away from critical thinking to batshit insane conspiracy theories. Most of the time the frontpage was filled with absurd tinfoil posts between the DRS posts (I do not criticize the latter). DDs were mostly relying on previous DDs and stated things as matter of fact even though we never got definite proof of them, like the basket swap stuff. I get, that we do not have the data to accurately verify it, but at least state somewhere in your post, that we do not know that for sure. You know, the scientific way.
I went to lurking entirely after the first year or so, only occasionally posting some updates on what's going on with GameStop Germany, such as store closures, updates to the website and support system, etc. Had a fairly high Karma account mostly from superstonk, and all the preceeding subs. Went with all the migrations. It went quiet, because most had been settled and figured out, I believe.
The next interesting wave of info will come in a few years, when DRS has reached enough shares to lock the float. I believe every short is a future buyer. But I also strongly believe the can will be kicked until the can kickers die and beyond. Just interested to see how they fuck with the system once DRS should have made it impossible to do so any longer.
To my mind, my investment is either gone or will pay in a few years. Either by virtue of GME turning around properly or by shit unravelling for the shorts. No need to discuss it further. Just keeping an eye on news every few days.
Oh it got a bit loose but the community probably exhausted the sane stuff and had to keep clutching.
Nothing is proven since we don't get complete data. It's all speculation until we see the backend.
I think it's likely run its course. Now we need a catalyst
Yeah, but then flag it as clear speculation in your post and put a section, that describes, what happens to your theory, if this speculation proves false.
