Superstonk mods remove posts of RC likes on X / Twitter - DRSGME/WhyDRS Lemmy
lemmy.whynotdrs.orgRyan 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 to GME”, and this rule is used in any instance where something is not
relevant to GME and the mods want to get rid of it. If there is something that
is not related to GME, such as Evergrande, or Citadel, or many other subjects,
the content typically does not get removed.
But if the content in any way shape or form related to BBBY, suddenly it is
naughty and gets removed. RC recently liked a generic tweet that Pulte made. RC,
the executive chairman of GameStop “liked” something on Twitter. This is
relevant to the interests of GME investors on superstonk and elsewhere. But the
post was removed by the mods.

Another post was made, this time it wasn’t removed, but it was locked.

[https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/16q9imu/rcs_latest_like/] The post
was locked because, apparently, “some of the commenters decided to break Rules
1, 3, 5 and 8.”
“This post has been identified as being brigaded from outside of this subreddit
and actions have been taken where needed.” “This post is locked to prevent
further “shilling” of other stocks, potential brigading of other subs due to
attempts to redirect Superstonk traffic and rude/insulting behaviour.” “For
those of you that engaged in good faith and are just enjoying the weekend vibe I
apologise for this interruption and hope you’re having a great time! 💜” Damn,
that’s a lot of rule breaking. Good thing the mods were there to put a stop to
all that rule breaking and all of that bad faith discussion and shilling of
other stocks.
- - - - The truth is that the mods have clearly demonstrated through their
actions that they don’t want anyone talking about anything at all related to
BBBY, even if it is Ryan Cohen himself. There was the time they temporarily
censored discussions [https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/comment/897553] about WSJ
reporting that RC was under investigation by the SEC, for the time that he sold
his shares of BBBY. They later backtracked about this one claiming that it was
an honest mistake.

There was the time that, in a discussion about RC buying shares of Nordstrom,
that a mod on superstonk pinned a post to the top of the discussion stating:
“RC’s buys are not your buys. Only one stock is the play.” “Keep in mind that RC
got out of towel leaving a lot of tin-foil theories and why he did and causing
plenty of dual investing apes holding the bags of a company that is heading
towards bankruptcy at full speed.”

There was also that time on September 17 when somebody in superstonk posted a
thread
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/16l9ca9/consider_this_a_business_sturcture_called_keiretsu/]
called “Consider this. a business structure called Keiretsu” Post was removed by
mods, stating: “Please take your thinly veiled bbbyq chatter elsewhere”, removed
for rule 2, not related to GME.

- - - - What has been demonstrated by the mods of that subreddit is a pattern of
persistent censorship of any discussions at all that so much as hints at
anything at all about Bed Bath and Beyond, spanning over nearly a year, even if
the source of the discussion comes from the executive chairman of GameStop
himself. Many things get posted to superstonk all the time that are not even
remotely related to GME, that don’t end up getting removed. But if something
that GME investors want to discuss gets posted there that happens to be even
loosely relate to Bed Bath and Beyond, it gets removed, even if it relates back
to GameStop or Ryan Cohen. If, in the not so distant future, Bed Bath and Beyond
emerges successfully from their bankruptcy as many speculate will happen, and
transforms into Teddy or anything like that, and if Ryan Cohen is one of the
primary individuals behind all of this, then this pattern of censorship will be
evidence that superstonk mods have been proactively trying to prevent GME
investors in “their” subreddit from giving any attention at all to this
particular narrative, and to the benefit of who? Put another way, if BBBYQ, a
stock in the basket of naked shorted stocks, was a vulnerable spot for the short
hedge funds, and if Ryan Cohen was planning some action on that company that
would cause the stock price to go up, what kind of actions on social media would
be beneficial for the short hedge funds that wouldn’t want investors purchasing
BBBYQ?

Above is the preview and is pretty ugly. Not sure why Lemmy does that.
