[EDIT] Call to Action: Bring over Apes and Critical DD from that old place :P
Hey there. If you are bored and have some spare time, how about creating a post that brings in a favourite piece of DD (due diligence) - be sure to credit the original author :)
Or how about messaging a MapleApe on the old site and letting them know about the 'lemmy-verse' lemmy.ca/c/gmecanada/, for a good start?
A cheap and quick way to move DD over here is to just post the original DD's title, with a link to the Ape-Historian's mirror of the original (https://www.apehistorian.com/) or a direct link to an archive.is or similar page capture in the post body.
EDIT: Love that lemmy lets one edit TITLES after posting. Already beats reddit for that alone! (OK, automod filters would be nice too.)
Wild west noises insue Remember to be excellent to each other... Oh and post pics of hedgies crying on TV(dont habe cable but need those images in my life).
Given elegant remote's hard work, I would prefer we focus on porting the apes themselves. The subs are going to be fucked over harder than ever when wall street gets their hands on that site, and a YouTube comment section is still hostile territory.
I agree, migrating the apes is key. It's tough to point them in the right direction with all the brigading rules. Are you aware of any other communities popping up outside of Reddit? I like the idea of decentralization but it definitely makes it harder to find all the communities.
I know there's a company discord https://discord.gg/gamestop but I've never really settled in with that platform very well. It feels too hectic for my old ass.
I think there was a GMEJungle discord but I'm not seeing it anymore. Maybe taken down?
We need a stronghold that won't dump us the second shit gets real. Hopefully Lemmy can be that.
Whoa! That just happened 5 hours ago? I was on there this morning, what did they do I wonder?
Edit: consensus is that reddit got a complaint about the stockholder list (the 'ledger') being released publically and some allege it was against Gamestop's own bylaws to do so, while others allege it was a federal violation of some sort of securities law. Sheesh.
Welcome! Please spread the word (via reddit DM or comments) to get apes over to the lemmyverse as a backup space. Mods from the old place could set up similarly-named communities easily, it's a 'green field' right now...
