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
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 An imperfect, out-of-date set of data, sure, but it's all we've got.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?

when superstonk isn't a problem, Reddit is.
Apparently, with no warning or justification, prominent superstonk poster of many years was spontaneously banned after having written this post titled: We’re Not In MOASS Territory (yet)
A post titled "Plan is not DRS" was not removed from superstonk - December 22, 2023
On December 22, 2023, our very own @jackofspades123 made a post on superstonk titled Plan is not DRS, which was mostly based on this original post by @Chives.
This is notable because superstonk has a history of removing posts like this, posts that talk about the distinction between plan (not DRS) and DRS.
I don't know how superstonk mods decide to remove or not remove a post, but they let this one stay up.
Regardless of prior actions and behavior up to this point by superstonk mods, this is a positive development. This is a major victory for the truth, in the ongoing war of competing narratives.
The plan versus DRS narrative competition is ongoing. For a long while, it was a topic that was heavily suppressed and deliberately confused in
Free-speech point of failure: DDoS protection and CloudFlare
Although I take the article's claims around intentionally propping up the DDoS landscape with a heavy grain of salt, the fact remains that anti-DDoS services can be critical for sites on the modern-day internet, and that our reliance on them is a weakness which certainly has been exploited before and will be exploited again to silence disfavored speech.
Note: we do use CloudFlare for our lemmy as well!
Wall Street On Parade is censored / banned on Reddit
https://wallstreetonparade.com/
This is not new information, apparently it has been this way for quite a long time. It isn't clear exactly when this policy was implemented by Reddit.
This recent comment provides some information about this.
If for example you go on Reddit and try to post a link to wallstreetonparade.com, Reddit will give you a message that says:
Reddit doesn't allow links from wallstreetonparade.com: this domain was banned for shilling/vote cheating
whatever the fuck that means. Shilling/vote cheating? Okay Reddit.
I am sure this is honest and accurate and fair and was done with good intentions.
Surely there are no parties out there that are benefiting from the fact that a credible critic of Wall Street corruption is censored on a major social media platform.

The offending comment…
The PP Show sub banned on Reddit - DRSGME/WhyDRS Lemmy
Main discussion is already happening at the linked post, but wanted to copy over to [email protected] censorship for relevance. Also this is a good tweet to reference too https://twitter.com/beyond_mythos/status/1702224228236288182
Pulte has some fun in a GameStop store
On Friday, October 27 2023, Pulte goes in to a GameStop store to do some "damage."
This was posted in at least 2 subreddits, notably theppshow and superstonk.
The interesting part, to me at least, is once again the different kind of reception that content like this receives in various subreddits, not so different than the time that @GameStop tweeted butterflies.
Pulte:
Superstonk mods remove posts of RC likes on X / Twitter
Ryan Cohen is the executive chairman of GameStop and is also obviously somewhat of a celebrity among GME (and also BBBYQ) investors.
In the before times, it went without saying that anything at all that RC said or did or something that he was mentioned in, was relevant to the interests of GME investors on Superstonk and in other communities, and therefore had merit to be posted in the subreddit.
Reasonably you would think, therefore, that any tweet, or any "like" on Twitter / X that RC does is something that is relevant to GME investors on superstonk and merits being posted there and merits being discussed by those that want to discuss it.
Superstonk mods clearly don't see things this way. They have a long list of rules to choose from that allow them to remove a variety of content that they don't like for some reason.
A ton of content is posted on superstonk every day that is not explicitly related to GameStop. But their rule 2 says that "Posts & Comments: Must be relevant
Plan versus Book: Superstonk mods remove post in favor of pure DRS book - Sept 20, 2023
Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/16nxrg3/everyone_should_decide_for_themselves_how_they/
When Plan vs Book conversations come up, the superstonk mods have many rhetorical words they like to use such as "there is no wrong way to hold GME".
And yet, a post like this shows up using similar rhetoric but concluding that shares should be put in pure DRS book, and this post gets removed without any explanation provided as to why. It's as if they don't actually believe the words when they say "there is no wrong way to hold GME".
The reason why there is any significance to this is because it is part of a larger pattern of behaviors from the mod team of superstonk that demonstrates that those mods have an agenda that is not in alignment with the community itself.
with respect to Plan vs Book, superstonk mods:
Sharing my ban message from Superstonk as well. Banned for brigading for a comment which wasn't on Superstonk - or even a GME subreddit.
Yesterday, within about ten minutes of Bibic-Jr's Superstonk ban, I also received a ban notification from the Superstonk subreddit team.
The linked comment cited in the ban was on the beyond_uranus subreddit, a sub which does not discuss the same topics as Superstonk and a comment which did not mention or link Superstonk. The topic was regarding the sub owner advertising their own Lemmy community, which is also on this instance.
I'm also sharing my response to the mod team from about 24 hours ago - there has not been any reply from them yet. If I do get one I can share it here in a comment.
 personally driven censorship decisions on Reddit. Today, I'm going to cover an ongoing story on censorship from the federal government itself.
In case you missed the original injunction that came out two weeks ago, a Federal judge issued a temporary injunction on the Biden administration prohibiting them, in no uncertain terms, from urging/pressuring/inducing social media companies to remove/suppress content containing protected free speech.
What is particularly interesting to me is the sheer detail of this injunction - 155 pages citing examples of past actions, examples of targeted individuals, and naming dozens of specific individuals and departments in the government
