Excellent! Should we invite them to setup shop here?

[–] [email protected] 83 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yes definetly they are one of the community i miss dearly in here .

I tried early starting a lemmy instance focused on this. There was about 0 exodus from that community.

https://wallstreets.bet/ was the domain.

WSB without the daily thread just doesn't exist. I'm also convinced that community is 85%+ bots.

In other news, I actually started making money since leaving reddit/wsb.

Can you expand a bit as to why? I wasn't part of it, but saw the same snippets we all saw during the Gamestop shit, and it seemed pretty toxic and a place for naive folks (me if I followed the advice lol) to lose a lot of money.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Definitely not a place for legitimate financial advice. Not OP but what I got from it is financial memes and some comradery hating rich people, at least at the height of the GameStop craze.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The gamestop thing was a fucking blast, but honestly, I still think Guh was peak WSB.

They seemed to love rich people, few times I was there.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah they are a riot and its fun to watch. But yeah don't always follow their advice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whatever bro. I flipped a coin once and it came up heads, just as they said!

After GameStop is when it went to shit. You came at the worst possible time.

If GME was your first intro and that caused you to think it was toxic...

if you don't long for days of disappearances and dogs shitting the backyards, I don't think the lifestyle is right for you.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Fuck that. Maybe old WSB, not the GME cultists. They can fuck all the way off.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Yeah, the GME cargo cult is pretty tired, those people don't get it.

I just want to see people losing their life savings after betting on melons having to drink piss from champagne glasses.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah fr though, I want to buy about 5k - 10k more shares. Its utterly shitty the bed right now, but I think mid year we'll get some good news stories and see it climb to ~0.25+.

They basically don't exist in the wild, so like yeah, its gonna struggle. Its at least gotta be better nikola, I mean they actually do have a product.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

they are literally about to have their first positive quarter, they could have done it last quarter, they have like a billion of cash on hand and showed a 5M loss last Q, i am guessing they are waiting to bust the damn bear case on it wide open, when that first positive earnings comes out I hope all those automatic investing machines make their choices and start this fucking shit show. but i have no faith in RC he is a billionaire taking gambles with plans and personally i find his shit dumb and lacking any virture or principal...

[–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yawn. At least tug on my balls if you are gonna blow smoke up my ass.

Shit was fun from December-March of the initial squeeze.. but after that..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

May MOASS bless us all

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

No, no. Let them cook. Let's see what happens before they inevitably get banned.
