I don't know if this is the right place to air this concern, but responsiveness on this instance seems extremely variable IME. Sometimes it's OK, sometimes it's molasses, sometimes I can't even log in, and sometimes I get the message that the site is down.

I'm convinced that site responsiveness is one of the limiting factors on community growth, and thus one of the reasons why the community has not grown.

Is the instance running on a Raspberry Pi with an SD card, or some similar microcomputer? Would it be possible to crowd fund a more suitable hardware platform?

Edit to add: When I watched the spinner, while the site tried to post this message, I found myself hurrying to copy-paste the text and save it locally, in case the site decided to die on me.

This kind of uncertainty can cause even the most fervent user to quickly lose interest in using even the best of sites. Please understand that this is a massive problem for the site.

Your actions belie your words, good sir/madam

Yeah, looks like she's been hopping between roles for a couple of years.

Diana Saadeh-Jajeh is the Chief Financial Officer of GameStop. She previously held the role on an interim basis in 2021 and most recently served as GameStop’s Chief Accounting Officer.

Nice write-up. I notice you talk about "instance admins" and "instance moderators", are they the same? If so, maybe they should be consistently called "instance admins".

Yes, the stock market is ... how to put it nicely ... dysfunctional. But Cohen's job is primarily to make Gamestop profitable, and he has been clear that he is going to keep his cards tight against his chest. Stock market reform is much too big of a job for one person who is busy running a business to take on, and to the degree that he is doing something about it, I'm glad that he's keeping his promise of not telegraphing his moves to the competition - or to the cellar boxing parasites.

Until further notice, I will just continue to DRS and book my shares. Which for me has also slowed down significantly, because of other expenses that have slowed down my buying of more GME, and because I could only spend my savings once. (Wish I could naked spend, but that's a privilege reserved for people who spend other people's money, it seems.)

I'm still convinced that DRS is one of the most, if not the most, important spanner in the works of the financial criminals that are naked short GME.

The company is doing fine IMO. They have money on book, and it seems obvious that they are working hard to improving long-term revenue. MOASS is not the goal of the company.

Also, I hate to say it but MOASS is probably not tomorrow. I do not know how long it will take. I do not know what the catalyst will be. I do not know if it will be a slow squeeze or a violent one.

I will continue to hold, because I believe in the company and because I believe shorts never closed. Each of this reasons separately is sufficient for me to continue to hold, and with both reasons combined, holding seems like a no-brainer to me. But everyone's situation is different, and if you can't wait any longer, then I guess don't?

I think many apes underestimate the "enemy" (that is, the financial criminals and market manipulators that are short GME), by impying that they're mayo eating morons. I like that you don't do that.

Applying too much force to the GME community always caused some adverse reaction (like a Streisand effect). Therefore, the logical thing for them to do, was to find the minimum amount of force that would, over time, achieve their goal of weakening the community. These people are resourceful, devious, and last but not least patient.

It's what I would do if I were them.
