I don't get it; why would they not allow WSB, potentially one of their biggest moneymakers, to persist?
Because WSB is a den of debauchery and trouble making. Its had direct and indirect impacts on markets.
It also drinks piss and monitors where dogs shit as a market indicator.
Its not something a publically traded company can really be associated with.
It has real market-affecting power, so that's power to them, publicly traded or not. They probably get deals with/money from high-frequency traders using the data. I don't believe they would axe it. /r/wallstreetbets is still going strong.
Need a remind me bot.
I'm making a called shot. Once reddit goes public, /r/wallstreetbets is gone.
Its still gonna be on the lemmyverse though: wallstreets.bet
If you looking for a degnerate alternative to WSB, consider signing up to wallstreetbets.
I dont think reddit survive this and I sure as sheet dont think they'll allow subs like wsb to persist.
The end coming through with a bang.
How do I sign up to this? I can't seem to search for it from my instance. (Probably a bad search str)
They linked an Instance. There is !wallstreetbets@lemmy.ml and !wallstreetbets@lemmy.world however
I'm not sure. Try searching for !wsb_main@wallstreets.bet.
I'm still learning the whole federation thing.
Lol, thanks! Yeah same!
