The last few years have been an interesting journey, and it is far from over.

Just wanted to say kudos and thanks to the DRSGME.org / WhyDRS.org team for putting together this instance, for their continued efforts that benefit all GME investors, for providing a location where we can more freely discuss topics of conversation that are relevant to our interests that might be censored elsewhere.

I see that nearly 500 approved users have signed up to this instance, and an even larger number of subscribers to the DRSyourGME community on this instance, meaning that users from other Lemmy instances are also subscribed to communities here.

A more relevant metric for social media activity is monthly active users, which is currently showing as over 100 on this instance.

Milestone achieved! It took just over 1 month. It will be fun to watch the continued growth of this community.

Cheers to everyone that has joined this instance and participated!

I believe that as things stand now, the fediverse is the bast path forward for investors of GME and other groups that want to ensure that they can properly express themselves on the internet without being subject to the control of centralized authorities that might have conflicting interests.

I remember watching the DRSyourGME subreddit grow, how it started small, naturally, but attracted bits of attention here and there, and as certain events unfolded it grew faster, and reached roughly 13 thousand users before Reddit rugpulled us.

So here we are. This time, the community will continue to grow just like last time, only this time, there won’t be a banning because there is no social media authority that exists that can take such an action.
