Can anyone explain this to me? There were several issues with Reddit discussed widely in the community, i.e. the brigading rules. Yet, now that Reddit screws over the customer even more with their API stunt, no one cared and the GME subs did not even participate in the Blackout. It would have been the perfect opportunity to migrate here or to other alternatives.

    The are so many bad actors in superstonk and other gme subs they do not want anyone to move or splinter off.

    Keep making noise in there and people will start moving over.

    Well, for what it’s worth I’d say GMECanada is officially moving… I’m the mod of both the reddit and lemmy versions :). It’s more of a ‘soft move’ – a slow migration but there’s no need to hurry, yet at least. I’m encouraging users to try out the lemmy community. Give it time, it’ll happen I think.

    There are already lemmy versions of superstonk and DRSYourGME, …

    I was solo mod on a small provincial gme sub.

    I shut it down 2 days after giving notice that that was happening and might be extended then after the spez lizard made the ‘this will pass’ statement I opened it to state I was out, that I was experimenting with Lemmy, that the sub would remain on restricted and that because it contained valuable useful info I’d leave it up as is and further if anyone wanted to take my role to DM me. I’ll check back in a week.

    Its really hard to get a migration going from superstonk when meta-discussions are banned… I just had a post suggesting migrating deleted nu a mod with the reason
