The Reddit ban made me think I’d find the community here… Is there another sub somewhere or…?

    Was very confusing to get on here. I don’t like the name confusion. Drsgme? Whydrs? Whynotdrs?

    Stick to one name! Make it easy to spread the word. I don’t trust discord. Feel it’s already compromised. Still not sure of this place yet

      Sorry about the confusion! We were not able to host this instance on the same URL without breaking the federation of the instance.

      DRSGME.org is specifically GME focused when providing DRS resources.

      The WhyDRS.org project aims to bring the same DRS resources but to all other publicly traded stocks.

      The lemmy.whynotdrs.org instance is here to provide a space to discuss them both, along with other stocks and market forces.

      You’re smart to not trust Discord. It’s just another for profit private company like Reddit and so many other social medias.

        And it’s not like this place has taken off. I’d redo it all without the confusion.

        Are you or how are you affiliated with drsgme? And how come they don’t directly link you. I think they link the discord. For now I do trust drsgme…

        I won’t waste my time with other drs projects. I think you at risk or are actively diluting the focus to DRS GME.

          This instance is directly affiliated, and linked in the header and footer (desktop) and footer (mobile) on both project sites DRSGME.org and WhyDRS.org.

          I’m a member of the team. Appreciate your skepticism, which is always a good trait, and that you find our resources helpful.

          I’ll be appearing with Miller and Bibic on a twitter space on Wednesday, if you want to hear more from us and about this instance.

      Discord is definitely a piece of spyware at this point. Telegram is a better option at this point in time.
