Posted via @Zuberi Reddit-scrapper. PM me for suggestions.

Reminder. The 65B company (Citadel) stands to lose (at least) $6.5T.

The DTCC, and then the Fed are gunna take that hit.

Tencent is ~250B, and have a sizeable stake in Reddit

Chinese Gov GDP of 17T, has very strong ties to Tencent and its money flow

Cede and Co 34T

Reddit is worth 10B tops, obviously Drew Vollero (Reddit CFO) is making STUPID money under the table to kill his own platform.

The people that are like “rEdDiT wOuLdNt DiE oN pUrPoSe” just don’t understand HOW MUCH MONEY influences these platforms.

They’re killing the gme subreddits soon. I can feel it. They DO NOT want us talking to each other when this kicks off 😂…

Clearly there are bad actors amongst the moderators on SS.

ANY account can currently comment on the sub, regardless of age/karma. It's essentially no-mans-land.

Please help get GME subs off of Reddit for good.

It would be a shame if somebody kept sharing the Gamestop communities to the users who don't quite understand yet.

As many of you have already heard, Reddit has announced that they are interpreting their Mod Code of Conduct to mean that moderators can be removed from their communities for 'vandalism' if they continue to participate in the protest against their policy on 3rd party apps.

This is ultimately Reddit's Web site to run: they are free to make any rules change they want, at any time they want. We can't stop them. They are also free to interpret their existing rules to mean whatever they say they mean.

But- for now, at least- I am free to say that it is utterly false to claim that participating in a protest against Reddit is 'vandalism'. Breaking windows is vandalism. Egging a house is vandalism. Scrawling 'KILROY WUZ HERE' on a bathroom stall is vandalism. Vandalism is destruction or defacement of another's property- not disagreeing with them while happening to be on their property.

This stretch of the definition of 'vandalism' beyond all believable bounds implicitly endangers a huge variety of speech on the site by users, not just moderators. If a politely-worded protest which goes against the corporate interests of Reddit is 'vandalism', the term can be distorted to include any speech damaging to someone with a sizable ownership stake in Reddit- including:

Criticism of Citadel, Citadel LLC, Kenneth Griffin, Elon Musk, or Tesla

Criticism of the DTCC, the FED, or Cede & Co

Criticism of any Warner Bros. property, due to Reddit parent company Advance Publications' sizable stake in WB

Criticism of Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple, (Reddit investor, Fidelity Investments', first, second, and third-largest holdings)

Criticism of United Healthcare (Fidelity's fourth-largest holding)

Criticism of Fortnite, Gears of War, League of Legends, or any one of a huge number of other games made by Reddit investor Tencent and its subsidiaries

Criticism of the Chinese government's genocide of the Uighur Muslims, repression of Hong Kong and the Tianmen massacre, due to their hooks in Tencent's leadership

News stories critical of prominent Reddit investor and Republican megadonor Peter Thiel.

Are you skeptical of the power that moderators hold over discourse and discussion on Reddit? Good. Such skepticism is healthy- and applying it to the motivations and interests of Reddit's moderators and its admins shows why this change is a threat to the whole platform, not any one group.

If you had the opportunity to take money under the table (well above the reddit 10B valuation) to intentioanlly sabotage your own platform, would you do it?

Today, a bunch of new instances appeared in the top of the user count list. It appears that these instances are all being bombarded by bot sign-ups.

For now, it seems that the bots are especially targeting instances that have:

Open sign-ups No captcha No e-mail verification I have put together a spreadsheet of some of the most suspicious cases here.

If this is affecting you, I would highly recommend considering one of the following options:

Close sign-ups entirely Only allow sign-ups with applications Enable e-mail verification + captcha for sign-ups Additionally, I would recommend pre-emptively banning as many bot accounts as possible, before they start posting spam!

Please comment below if you have any questions or anything useful to add.

Due to the ongoing protest against Reddit's new API terms, many subreddits are either private or restricted. sub.rehab lists instances of the Reddit communities on alternative platforms.

The fed is keeping our markets afloat via QE, and swaps kept citadel from going bankrupt in 2021
