Long, long story short, but I didn't even get banned from SS. I got my account(s) permanently suspended by reddit. (side note, reddit does not like if you overwrite and delete your account history every evening, just an fyi)
Jsmar was the last decent SS mod. What happened to Half_dane, btw? Disappeared one day and that was it? He was probably a Rensole alt as best as I can figure.
There's probably nobody here that remembers who I was over my main/alt accounts, but I kept track and still keep track of users through RES and take notes. Every day, for years. I'm not going to go so far as to say ALL of the mods are plants at this point, but it's pretty close. SS sub is mostly spam accounts/bots/planted accounts/15-year-olds at this point. I have them all tagged and update my records when they do spam/bot things. There's almost no posters/commenters at this point that I haven't tagged, and I was suspended the day before thanksgiving last year. TL;DR There's not a lot of new users that comment in SS over the last year.
At any rate, hello. Nice to have a voice again.
I have some other devices I still downvote and report that stupid fucking starfish with every morning. The running 7.41 guy, and the dtcc comment guy. Then after market close I hit the sideways trading guy and the fucking "tomorrow" spammer.
None of those have anything to do with GME, all violate rule 2, and the mods certainly don't care to enforce the sub rules unless it hurts their personal feelers.
And as a final "hello" because this is a DRS GME sub. All my shit is DRSd, and I still don't believe it will actually do anything even if 200% of the outstanding shares are locked up in CS. There's bigger problems in the system and they're not gonna let their profit center collapse just because some retail folks bought up all the shares on paper. But they might, so I'm watching on the sidelines with the rest of you.
The shift was slow, but there is almost nothing of value in there anymore.
I've been getting more hands-on with reading the releases and documents personally for my DD, then turning to a couple of YouTubers to see if other think the same as me, or if there are other interpretations to consider.
I really like the PPShow on YouTube. They feature contributors on multiple sides of a play and generally manage a civil discussion.
Once Lemmy volume picks up, I'll switch over as a primary tool.
