  I've never seen such an active Discord server as r/WallStreetBets. Discord struggles on a desktop PC (i9-10900K) and my iPhone just burns through battery and gets super hot. There are still dozens of people joining every second. I bet the Discord dev team is learning a lot here h…

  just in: Discord has shut down the /r/WallStreetBets server for “hate speech, glorifying violence, and spreading misinformation”, a spokesperson for Discord tells me. “To be clear, we did not ban this server due to financial fraud related to GameStop or other stocks”

  Like, there's a legitimate free speech concern here in a way there is not with a group of people planning and then acting acts of coordinated violence. Except THAT group took like 3 years and 5 actual deaths to get shut down, whereas WSB went down in like 48 hours.

  Robinhood not allowing trading of $GME and $AMC. The elites have the financial system rigged. Why would any user trust Robinhood ever again?

  Robinhood won't let users buy $GME $AMC or $NOK, but they'll let them buy Dogecoin. Let that sink in for a second.
