they are literally memeing the revolution into existence

    we should start c/wallstreetbets on here for when reddit inevitably shuts them down.

    if you look at their posts a lot of them are pissed about crony capitalism and call the hedge fund owners pigs. i’m sure there are reactionaries in the bunch but we have some common ground with them and they are potential converts to the left.

        A rule they'll be pathologically unable to follow. If they get banned I'm sure they'll set up their own federated alternative anyway.

          Oh well. If they can't follow that then we don't want them here anyway.

      fuck them. let them start a lemmy instance. many of them are too poor to invest in real estate, but of those who have a few hundred thousand to gamble on derivatives many of them make their living through rent seeking. they're literally either petty-bourgeois or aspiring to be. I don't want americans with middle class sensibilities up in here...plus think about the new transphobe bans.

      if we do this and they actually come i think we'd lose control of the site tbh
