Outside of the SCC I have found that many try to “hold the mods accountable” and few know how to do that when a power dynamic is involved, let alone the emotion they bring to that intent. This is noble at face value but the damage from failed attempts is great. There is more of an equal footing within the SCC that allows for calmer and more rational talks for this purpose.
We have many discussions ahead of us, most of which cannot be resolved through walls of text like this. The mods have shown me that they are genuine in their love for the sub but, over time and with enough corrosive intent from trolls and bad actors, that love can be twisted into something it should not resemble. There must be voices to counteract this over time.
It is my belief that many things need to change for our overall community to return to a peaceful and sustainable path and that the road to get those changes is arduous, tedious, and well worth it. We currently have the ability to resolve core differences with relatively little drama. From there we can talk about what we need to see from each other in order to come around on key topics.
We can discuss what information we need to convince outsiders to become insiders to this saga, and how to obtain that critical information. It is my belief we must slowly and carefully expand and support each other in the projects we undertake. We must decentralize while remaining connected both here and in our friend lists.
Nobody is entirely opposed, and few are even partially opposed, to this overall thought process. When approached with reason and humanity everyone is receptive.
lol lmao
The shitheads running that sub won’t ever give up power, and even if they did, what happens to all the apes who were banned?
They’ve been silencing people for nearly 3 years now. That’s a lot of people who would need to be unbanned.
Personally, I don’t buy the “stand alone complex” crap he’s pushing. I resent the leaders of this movement and I will make a point to never have anything to do with them ever again. In the future, anything they stand for I will stand against.
The only reason we’re on the same side right now is because I’m invested in the MOASS and I want to get paid.
There is no possibility for us to ever be friends. That bridge was burned when the SS mods chose to act like assholes and silence their supposed “movement” for 3 years straight. They aren’t leading this movement, they have just taken it hostage.
He isn’t appealing to his own authority in the video. He’s presenting facts then drawing a conclusion from those facts.
At this point are you (or superstonk/lemmy users) holding Gamestop because of its inherent value as a company or because of the short squeeze?
why not both?
i can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe that Ryan Cohen is on a mission to see GameStop succeed, and I’m invested in that mission. GameStop has a ton of potential, if you choose to believe in that, and I do.
As for the short squeeze part: we already saw a glimpse back in January 2021. it was so dramatic that they made a movie and numerous documentaries about it. It only ended because incumbent financial institutions colluded to disable any further purchasing of shares of GME, because if they didn’t do that, that episode would have been game over for them. This detail is disputed by the folding ideas guy, but simply put I think he is biased and wrong. But, he would allege that I am biased and wrong. So who is right? I don’t know, I guess we will find out.
The fact that Cohen is personally invested in Gamestop was a contributing factor behind why I decided to go all-in on GME instead of cashing out at a loss.
That and the fact that Gamestop isn’t in debt, has over a billion cash on hand, is expanding its online storefront and built distribution centers for online sales, and is building a digital games storefront with PLAYR.
They’re in a good financial position, have great leadership, and are making all the right decisions.
So why is Gamestop constantly being bashed by the media? Why have all these investor websites who previously didn’t bat an eye when retail lost money, suddenly so concerned about my investment in Gamestop?
They aren’t half as smart as they think they are. Money has been raining on fools for far too long and it’s time the fools lost their money.
It’s pretty odd, that’s for sure, all the negative sentiment that continually speed forth on a consistent basis.
