I really hope this becomes the defacto forum for this community. I've been dabbling in the Lemmyverse and it seems like the most appropriate solution at this time. Not only am I suspicious of Twitter/X, but it is a terrible design for forum-like interaction - in that regard Reddit's format really is ideal, and that's what Lemmy has emulated.

I'm working with ppseeds to set up a dedicated Lemmy server that isn't dependent on any external arbiter.
this is the best news i've heard all day. this is the ideal solution. An internet community that is owned and operated and administered by the community participants, not some centralized authority.
Nobody can deplatform you when you are your own platform host. it takes work but the reward is autonomy and freedom to communicate.
@[email protected] is the instance administrator for that instance and has already gained experience in the business of hosting a lemmy instance. you could possibly reach out to them if you have any questions or are looking for direction.

Further, I'll say this community should no longer the "property" of PP, but the collective we've become. We are all individual investors making our own decisions & enjoying this unique community of people, not PPseeds himself - in fact I've watched maybe 5 minutes of the show ever; can't stand it, and certainly don't have time to listen to 4hrs of BS for maybe a few minutes of solid content. This community, though, is special. Nowhere else that I've found allows for big-picture discussions outside of specific stock tickers, and I do appreciate the GME/Butterfly/IEP (and more) theories & tinfoil.
Again, fuck Twitter/X. Any links to that awful platform should be through nitter.net like a condom.
I often don't have 4 hours for dildo slaps, but they are funny as fuck. I do have infinite time for some Region_Formal blue boxes, Travis's accounting depth or Dr. Jakes insights into logic flows to an outcome, so I prefer the written to the show for actual deep DD, but love the show for the people, the insights and the speculation.
What is this community about? What happened?
Reddit nuked sub which was getting millions of views daily. Sub is mostly discussing stock ticker bbbyq and the potential behind it. Community has not been informed why specifically it was banned but at this point who cares. Fuck Reddit.
Hell yeah, I been here since the summer. It's more niche, it's more cozy feeling, less populated, but it functions the same. It's a decent alternative to the spezler website
Palladium Tarnish or some other not-real person felt like they were being attacked because their online persona that isn't them in real life started to feel like their anonymous online persona was actually real and being attacked by people on X, so the most logical thing to do is ban them on another platform.

Can’t wait to see what bullshit reason they have for banning the sub. I’ve seen other subs with crazy amounts of hate speech and racism and they don’t even get quarantined, let alone banned. Reddit is a joke.
If you wish to learn who rules over you, simply find who you cannot criticize.
Tell your friends to stop using it! Lemmy is much better.
I am done with Reddit now.
Reddit's reason is: "because we said so"
it doesn't really matter what their justification is. it's their platform, we are always subject to their centralized authority. if they decide they don't like a community, on any weak or strong justification, they reserve the right to get rid of that community.
I never knew about lemmy but it's awesome to get away from fucking reddit.
Great work Ross. Thanks for creating this community here.
I was just about to respond to your comment on Reddit but that thread was locked before I could.
Ross, could you please go on the pp show live stream tonight and bring up the discussion of Lemmy?
by the way the link you provided did not work, you'll want to use: https://lemmy.world/c/theppshow
Also wouldn’t hurt to mention the whynotdrs lemmy instance on the show as well since it’s about mainly bbby as well as gme. Cheers all! 🦍💜🦍

Thank you Ross! For those that don't know DRSyourGME was also banned from reddit and have taken refuge here:https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/
nice to see the Lemmy lifeboat
Thanks for creating Ross!
Never heard of Lemmy.. hopefully not as compromised as Reddit and can be a bit like what it used to be pre GME 😂
the structure is quite different from reddit and cannot be "compromised" the same way reddit can.
on reddit, all subreddits are subject to the single centralized authority of Reddit Inc. If Reddit Inc. doesn't like your community, they can and will get rid of it. that simple.
On Lemmy, every instance / server is independent of all other servers. you are still subject to the authority of the instance administrators, and just like on Reddit, if you are on an instance and for some reason those admins don't like you, whether because you are breaking the rules or for some other reason, they too reserve the ability to get rid of you from their platform.
but, the beauty of the fediverse is that anyone is able to start their own instance if they wanted to. if you have a specific topic that you want to have a community for in the fediverse, but some instances don't want your community on their instance, you can always find a new instance or start your own. nobody can stop you from starting your own instance.

It’s rare for any event to spur me into action. This did it though. Reddit app deleted and am joining every backup community I come across.
good to see peeps here. so tired of all the corruption in everything
Great job setting this up so quickly, very happy to be deleting reddit 👍🏼
Fuck yes Ross. This is such a better format than X
Howdy howdy howdy! Always remember that there's no such things as a coincidence in what we're involved with. Considering what we were waiting for today, the timing was no accident.
Don’t forget to subscribe to the community for easy access later y’all! Hit the “sidebar+” at the top of the main page and join!!

Since third party apps were blocked, ppshow was the only subreddit I frequently visited. No need for the Reddit app anymore now.
