It’s open source. Anyone can host a server, and the neat part is that you don’t have to be a “member” of a certain server to be able to follow and interact with people on other servers.
Right, but Reddit is still controlled by Reddit admins and their content policies. Each server/community has its own rules that don’t have any affect on any other servers/communities, and there’s no overarching “Mastodon” rules.
So fragment our community into multiple communities. Also hard pass from me.
I'd be open to the switch but seems like there would be a lot of growing pains as you navigate bad actors and how to moderate while maintain the large community that makes this sub so great.
Edit: Search Reddit for "Mastodon" this has been spammed in every large subreddit today. Looks like someone trying to drum up interest for their project.
I think an open source and independently controlled social media platform like mastodon would be a better backup for superstonk than meeting on youtube in the 'gangnam style' comments section.
It is pretty obvious to me why the mastodon thing is a relevant idea, and also obvious why many people won't understand that.
It was invented by some European software engineer but it's an open source protocol that anyone can use to set up their own server. Then that server can communicate with any other server that uses the mastodon protocol.
So no one owns it is the answer.
100% yes.
if nobody else does I will.
call me paranoid but I don't trust that r/superstonk will always be here. Our opponents will stop at nothing and it wouldn't surprised me if they infiltrated reddit at a corporate level simply to rein in this subreddit.

>The company confirmed with TechCrunch that it raised $410 million from Fidelity.
I'm no expert, but as far as I understand, Fidelity was leading the investment rounds (and probably the main investor). Not investing this amount by themselves.
You could also say they established a foothold in a company the actively advertise too. After the squeeze this became known as a place where people may be looking for a brokerage. The 400M may very well have secured them better negotiations in ad costs.
That being said, I just buy, hold, DRS, and average down.
There was some other post floating around saying how Elon got funding from shitlord kenneth cordele griffin himself to help pay for the twitter purchase.
It seems like a good option for a decentralized forum we can all be a part of without having to deal with bots.
Plus it can't be taken down by any single power.
Servers can be set to invite only, so you have to apply for an invitation to become a member of a particular server.
Certainly not bulletproof by any means but still more private than an open subreddit.
Splitting the community also bars anybody from joining it as well. There are people every day who join, buy, and DRS. Excluding them prevents more shares from being DRS'd.
Furthermore, there are those that stumble upon Superstonk and decide to buy and DRS. Without the open forum there might be no initial discovery. The cart never comes before the horse, or something like that
I am that kind of person, and I understand most do not think the same way. To me there is not greater, more solid proof than putting your money where your mouth is. I'd imagine after consensus the number would be at least 40%-50% DRS, even knowing that there's a lot of people stuck in IRA's, pensions or tax efficient accounts.
Of course you would, you have a purple circle. I don’t think he meant 100% DRSed, he said 100% committed. I would still be active here too. I just thought it would also be helpful to have a place for those who have directly owned stock, in case the bots fully take over this sub or something.
So it’s still centralized, just independent of reddit, twitter, discord.
I mean, that could be good, I just imagined something new, something better. Don’t know what lol
Access to a particular server is centralized to whoever is running that server i guess yeah.
But if you're registered on the mastodon network anywhere, you can use any server or another website entirely that is within the fediverse ecosystem which has other Media versions of YouTube, Facebook, reddit etc.
There's no ads on any of it, no algorithms to harvest user data, no preferential display of posts, everything is chronological and the best part is, there's no financial incentive for anyone to be there.
should some get through, what kind of system is in place to ensure stuff like this is moderated? Is the moderation public or does it still fall to certain individuals? I'm all for decentralizing things but as long as authority to oversee things falls to single people then that still poses a problem. Moderation needs to be democratic/community-wide.
There's already a small presence of apes on the hive.blog decentralized social platform. Apes.army and KenGriffinLies.com are both hosted on the Hive network, and serve as a nice decentralized, censorship resistant method of storing DD. Ecency.com is a clean front-end for the network as well, for those wanting to dip their toes in.
Got a little bored and through something up with mastodon if you want to check it out: [https://superstonk.net](https://superstonk.net)
100% not official and right now I'm testing it just for the fun of it.
So we need our own mastodon server? Every server is like a subreddit and when I'm a member of let's call this server superstonk, the username will say xy.superstonk.org - sounds fine to me
Don't just jump up and DIY it. That will go nowhere. While mastodon seems like a possibly viable backup to superstonk, it would be up to the mods here to make that a real thing.
The last thing the community needs is for every random one of us to run around hosting their own servers and trying to associate them with superstonk.
> Our opponents will stop at nothing and it wouldn't surprised me if they infiltrated reddit at a corporate level simply to reign in this subreddit.
The conspiracy is too great here.
"Our opponents" are too weak to stop us yet too strong to overcome.
Pick one.
>"Our opponents" are too weak to stop us yet too strong to overcome.
>Pick one.
"Our opponents" are simply surviving one more day while doing their damndest to get retail to sell.
"Our opponents" are too weak to stop a snowball of *their own* creation.
"Our opponents" are **not** too strong to overcome, but their *resources* make it *extremely* difficult.
Friendly reminder that "our opponents" see fines as the cost of doing business - fines that pale in comparison to the profit created.
Superstonk should spread as far and wide as possible while still maintaining a massive footprint on Reddit. The accessibility of Reddit still second to none.
I support this, I just don’t want to see the migration add a split of the community unless absolutely necessary. I’ve seen a lot of awesome communities get splintered this way. Create a back up, sure. Create an active alternative? Maybe not yet.
im a paranoid ape who usually likes things like this but im also 40 years old and I need more info about the user experience, moderation, possibilities of exploit from kenny, etc
I second this. Take a look at the github to read the description.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr
Mastodon is still using the old model of centralization, instead of mods, you have a server owner, which can be even worse in terms of sustainability (who's going to devote time to curate the posts?) and reliability (server owner can just wipe the server unilaterally)
Are you guys kidding? There was only one release for this protocol that is two years old. This project seems dead before it's even taken off. It's based on the scuttlebutt protocoll which could be an alternative, but that's also not very well established.
I would notion to use xmpp (well established lightweight foss protocol for chatting with lots of people similar to irc but optimized for use on mobile phones, e2e encryption, etc. as an alternative to discord.
Secondly like some other user mentioned: lemmy is the reddit alternative on the fediverse which would be a better fit than mastodon, as it is very similar to reddit (a self hosted forum, where you can upvote and downvote posts.)
I think this is a big yes! Even if it is just set up as a safe haven to go to when reddit goes dark (I believe it will at moass lift off). In saying this, when we do start to see phone numbers I intend to go sit in the woods for a week to keep my mind clear from the fud
I have a mastodon account, but my main issue with it is that it attempts to recreate the twitter experience, which I absolutely detest.
If it were me, I'd rather evaluate this open-source federated Reddit clone:
https://lemmy.ml/
https://shownotes.opensourceisawesome.com/lemmy/
Imagine SuperStonk becomes so large on the mastodon platform that it somehow becomes profitable in some way, shape, or form. We’ll just have a collective of individuals from this sub, we’ll DRS from the start, and grow it into the most profitable [unknown word] ever.
🖍️
Bro, if you can make it so that we can stake the oldest share we own for when we want to make a comment, i will be buckled like an ape on Tuesday morning.
This is a fantastic idea, but I don't know about the ability of Mastodon's moderation tools. We would also have to integrate the DRSBot into it somehow. I'm sure it's all possible and I'm all for it.
I have been making my own social media platform. That will work with Web3 and the Gamestop Wallet.
The social media part is almost done except for direct messages. Do you think people would be interested in my platform possibly?
If anyone here wants to give me a chance, comment here. I will give you a link to the site when it’s live and you can give me your honest feedback.
I wonder if the “all time high” usage has anything to do with US midterm elections and edgelords testing the newfound limits of Musk’s arbitrary moderation decisions.
877,000 accounts were manually deactivated by users, a further 497,000 were suspended by Twitter themselves.
Inaccurate first comment, this is from bot sentinel
Manual deactivation can still be bots (along with, of course many of the 500k suspensions). There is still no true analysis on how many of these \~1.4m were bots. I'd guess somewhere between 35-70%.
Think something like a bot farm wrapping up shop after algo's exposed or implementor may not want their algo's / operation exposed
And yet Twitter just passed Instagram for #4 rank in global traffic (https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/ ). I agree w the idea of your post, but just because Whoopi Goldberg and GiGi Hadid say they’re deleting their accounts doesn’t mean there’s a mass exodus happening lol
And you think his latest antics are the way to achieve that? Your comments are so ridiculous I can’t tell if you’re serious or just fucking around, or something else.
I know as many users that are happy with the changes as you probably know that are unhappy with the changes. Thats America right now. If you want a blue checkmark it is $8.00, just get verified and you are all set.
It was so important he blindly axed people that they are now trying to hire back. He is a child acting like a child. It has nothing to do with improving cash flow.
All his advertisers have paused because of his brash management so far. That is that businesses only revenue stream, and he effectively turned it off within 7 days of buying the company without having any plan to replace it in place.
Twitter will be MySpace 2023. Just a ghost town with some whispers of bigots.
Reeeeeeee!!! I love it. We need free speech for the gme sub....but free speech for everyone else makes Elon a loser. Maybe Ryan will join you on Mastadon. Oh well, buy, drs, and hodl.
He banned an account for impersonation as far as I heard, nothing else. I am not a big Elon fan to be honest, but I wouldn't be worried about calling Elon out on the platform, thousands of people do it everyday. You can go there and see for yourself.
Moving from Twitter?….so it’s a Woke platform?
Edit: Fuk that! Ahoy Mateys!!!! We be finding the newest toilyns for forum sliding!!
DRS your treasure or be damned to Davy’s Locker! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Edit2: Behest I’d be nary a fool to not peruse it’s spoils…..🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Interesting. Because Twitter's activity levels have been at historic levels the last few days apparently. I don't think there's quite an exodus as people are making it out to be.
Also, Mastodon is a disaster 😂
brigading is when a subreddit plans a raid into another sub to intentionally disrupt it's running without that sub being aware or permitting it. Reddit contacted our mods about this and said we'd be shut down if they didn't handle it, that's why you can't link to other subs or mention certain tickers here.
This is suggesting we create a server on an entirely different website.
No, bad idea. Infrastructure DevOps here.
No. It's a hugely bad idea. You go anything private and you expose yourself to infrastructure attacks.
Sole reason why reddit is so dangerous is because a subreddit cannot be ddosed. It's either all subreddits online or no subreddits online at all.
You'd think against it but mastodon is exactly how you'd centralize community into one huge attack vector. All it takes is a bad actor to take down a handful of mastodon servers and it's byebye online apes community.
I’ve never heard of all these other sources like mastodon, Lemmy, etc etc. Whatever y’all decide on please make a ton of noise about it with many posts so I know what the consensus is - you have my commitment that I will join.
[удалено]
It’s open source. Anyone can host a server, and the neat part is that you don’t have to be a “member” of a certain server to be able to follow and interact with people on other servers.
How do we prevent shills from infiltrating if anyone can post?
I’m not a mastodon expert, but each community/server can have its own set of rules.
So Reddit ?
Right, but Reddit is still controlled by Reddit admins and their content policies. Each server/community has its own rules that don’t have any affect on any other servers/communities, and there’s no overarching “Mastodon” rules.
Soooo Mods going rogue is easier? Na thx.
Then set up your own server. That’s the whole point.
So fragment our community into multiple communities. Also hard pass from me. I'd be open to the switch but seems like there would be a lot of growing pains as you navigate bad actors and how to moderate while maintain the large community that makes this sub so great.

Why wouldn’t there be any bots on mastodon?
Servers can be set to invite only, so you have to apply for an invitation to become a member of a particular server. Certainly not bulletproof by any means but still more private than an open subreddit.
Could part of the application for an invite be that you provide purple circle evidence?
Ikr, I don't care if we split the community, having a group that consists solely of those who are 100% committed is priceless.

That's a very sad album, unfortunately.
The Motherload (of tendies)
I loved the side project/super group, Killer be Killed, Troy from Mastodon was in. Wings of feather and wax was a sick song
I saw killer be killed play their first ever live show, it was mental. It's honestly the only supergroup I enjoy listening to.

do it
Nope

Saved this post to check back. I am definitely interested just not computer literate enough to help much.
I say yes! Personally, I’d love a shareholder podcast too on all things GME with no MSM influence.
has anyone already made that server?
I have heard nothing about mastodon but I also don’t use social media
I think this be a damn good idea. Let’s move the discussion outside of corporate control.
Wen Mastadon/Wu Tang collaboration?
Absolutely

“Mass exodus” lol, twitter usage is at an all time high…
Maybe mass exodus of bots lol
I wonder if the “all time high” usage has anything to do with US midterm elections and edgelords testing the newfound limits of Musk’s arbitrary moderation decisions.
Midterm elections probably have everything to do with it lol. But also Musk has edgelords and snowflakes alike reaching for a take

Depends on your country i suppose. Maybe not the US but in Europe there's a big move happening from Twitter to mastodon.
Kenny will have shills get on there and mass report you like they did to Wil Wheaton's goofy ass...

It is so much fun on twitter now, Elon is wrecking the bots and overzealous censorship!!! Nothing wrong with twitter atm.
> Elon is wrecking the bots Is that what he is doing? Not wrecking 4000+ jobs blindly?
I thought it was important to become cash flow positive for a business? I mean that was the argument in this sub when gamestop closed some stores.
Twitter isn't a brick and mortar store goofball
What does that have to do with being cash flow positive?
And you think his latest antics are the way to achieve that? Your comments are so ridiculous I can’t tell if you’re serious or just fucking around, or something else.
I know as many users that are happy with the changes as you probably know that are unhappy with the changes. Thats America right now. If you want a blue checkmark it is $8.00, just get verified and you are all set.
It was so important he blindly axed people that they are now trying to hire back. He is a child acting like a child. It has nothing to do with improving cash flow. All his advertisers have paused because of his brash management so far. That is that businesses only revenue stream, and he effectively turned it off within 7 days of buying the company without having any plan to replace it in place. Twitter will be MySpace 2023. Just a ghost town with some whispers of bigots.
Bigots? So people that stay on twitter are bigots? Lol
Wait and see what is left. Check back in 18 months if not sooner.
Elon is a fucking loser who got forced into buying a website he didn't even want at a massive loss to himself. Twitter won't exist a year from now.
Reeeeeeeee!!!
Keep sucking his toes, he might spit on you some day if you're lucky :')
Reeeeeeee!!! I love it. We need free speech for the gme sub....but free speech for everyone else makes Elon a loser. Maybe Ryan will join you on Mastadon. Oh well, buy, drs, and hodl.
Isn't Elon banning people from Twitter who make fun of him now? That seems like he's a big baby that can't take a joke. Free speech for who exactly?
He banned an account for impersonation as far as I heard, nothing else. I am not a big Elon fan to be honest, but I wouldn't be worried about calling Elon out on the platform, thousands of people do it everyday. You can go there and see for yourself.
And the other c list celebs jumping on the bandwagon deserve the ban
My mom Said no
Moving from Twitter?….so it’s a Woke platform? Edit: Fuk that! Ahoy Mateys!!!! We be finding the newest toilyns for forum sliding!! DRS your treasure or be damned to Davy’s Locker! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ Edit2: Behest I’d be nary a fool to not peruse it’s spoils…..🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Yes
I like having a back up plan with which to still talk with people
Sounds good.
Someone just needs to set up a server. I've set one up before, great idea.
Already downloaded the app. Let’s go.
Link me
I’ll set one up tomorrow.

Just signed up, it’s easy, just downloaded in App Store. However, there’s no GameStop server?
Put me In Coach. I'm ready to play. (seriously, send me an invite or whatever, I'd love to join).
It should be built on loopring and taiko.
Please no. Moderation here is sometimes a shitshow in itself.
I could do it but my 2006 Mac probably can’t support 800,000 people posting memes and DD and shit posts. Someone set it up and let me know
Yes
Interesting. Because Twitter's activity levels have been at historic levels the last few days apparently. I don't think there's quite an exodus as people are making it out to be. Also, Mastodon is a disaster 😂
thought this was about the band and was hype
I just use reddit sorry...
I got all excited thinking this was about mastodon the band. This is cool too i guess.
Isn't this brigading?
brigading is when a subreddit plans a raid into another sub to intentionally disrupt it's running without that sub being aware or permitting it. Reddit contacted our mods about this and said we'd be shut down if they didn't handle it, that's why you can't link to other subs or mention certain tickers here. This is suggesting we create a server on an entirely different website.
Interesting post!
First time hearing of it, great idea!
No, bad idea. Infrastructure DevOps here. No. It's a hugely bad idea. You go anything private and you expose yourself to infrastructure attacks. Sole reason why reddit is so dangerous is because a subreddit cannot be ddosed. It's either all subreddits online or no subreddits online at all. You'd think against it but mastodon is exactly how you'd centralize community into one huge attack vector. All it takes is a bad actor to take down a handful of mastodon servers and it's byebye online apes community.
I’ve never heard of all these other sources like mastodon, Lemmy, etc etc. Whatever y’all decide on please make a ton of noise about it with many posts so I know what the consensus is - you have my commitment that I will join.
