Background: big boy hedge funds taken to the cleaners when their short positions were being squeezed by small investors.

So bye bye to the platform to shut up the peons.

Hoping Reddit is sued for a billion as they booted the_donald off the site last year.

that WSB meme of joke doing cramer’s mad money was awesome.

rummy chick had a link to it, let me see if I can find it before it’s vaporized for committing satire.

>> hateful and discriminatory content

My only problem with such content is its abuse of digital oxygen.

Prolly bogus allegations anyways...

When the SEC can’t move fast enough to protect Swamp hedge funds, they get their Assh@le tech cronies to do it instead.

This is damage control, nothing more.
If there is one thing the ‘hedge fund types’ can afford it’s lawyers.
Discord is trying to avoid those lawyers.
The whole thing has been fun to watch...all the outrage over the ‘little guy’ punching the tribe right in the nose.

I wondered when the hedge fund mafia would put a stop to this. How is it even legal for hedge fund managers to conspire against corporations to devalue their stock, damage the company and defraud stockholders? It’s like fixing the odds on sports betting, but the real victim is all of our 401K’s. Can’t have the little people interfering with the hedge fund billionaires’ market manipulation.

This de-platforming isn’t just about free speech, it’s about free markets vs fixed markets. Your investments and retirement fund are just a toy for these folks to play with and steal from.
