Censorship is bad, and is often difficult to seek accountability for (because such attempts are themselves censored).

This community exists as a safe place to report on instances and patterns of censorship among pro-GME, pro-DRS, and financial transparency accounts/content.

RULE: Due to the unfortunate risk of escalating tensions, please limit content in this community to factual record. Please do not include commentary on presumed motivations, intentions, shillery, name-calling, etc. If such commentary is included in screenshots, it must be redacted out.

r/GME does not allow any linking to DRSGME.org (lemmy.whynotdrs.org)

was trying to post something to r/GME and had used a page on the DRSGME.org website as a source.

Specifically, it was the 2023 stockholder list viewing page that I had wanted to use a source because it is a good source. It is pretty much the only source of data that GME shareholders have that provide numbers about DRS versus DSPP. An imperfect, out-of-date set of data, sure, but it's all we've got.

Turns out, r/GME will not allow any linking to DRSGME.org.

Why would that be?

A free information website built by GME shareholders for other GME shareholders and anyone else, is not permitted in the r/GME subreddit. Huh?

Reddit as a whole continues to demonstrate corrupt acts of information control against the interest of Reddit's users.

Imagine being a shareholder of any company but not allowed to have a voice in shareholder social media communities because the unaccountable moderators / admins of those communities decided that you don't get a voice. how fucked up is that? this is the power that reddit has over shareholders of companies that have nothing to do with Reddit. it's one of the reasons i have reluctantly found myself using X more. X too suffers from problems but not censorship the way reddit does.

i of course would ultimately love to see more users on Lemmy and other fediverse apps, but most people are not really interested in this right now. maybe as the enshittification of reddit gets unbearable, more people will consider Lemmy
