It does look like the PPers are filtering back into BBBY and now they're fighting. This should generate some excitement.

Did you know that Dream on Me is a shadow corporation and front for Sixth Street's 10 billion dollar claim and is secretly owned by Bed Bath and Beyond, Ryan Cohen and Sue Glove??

It will be interesting to watch what happens with the two semi-independent strains of BBBY brainworms being reintroduced to the same petri dish. r/BBBY was a ghost town, but of the few comments being made maybe 10% or so were from people who recognize that they will never moon. The door to reality was cracked the tiniest bit open, but I'm sure it slams shut now.

PPSeeds is a guy who has a YouTube live show about BBBY and other meme stocks. Until today his subreddit /r/ThePPShow was the only safe place on Reddit for them to talk their insane theories with strong moderation of anyone critical.

Allegedly he works at a sex shop which is why they’re obsessed with dildos.

I've never actually tuned in, but apparently all he does is have randos on and he smiles and nods while they talk crazy and then they give him money.

I assume it was a per-arranged place to "meet up" if the board was closed, I mean it's just one of the worst ones imaginable. It's the internet, basically anywhere else would of been better. I'm guessing they had a discussing about the song/video once and it became an in joke or something?

It looks like some of them have gone to a website called Lemmy? Seems like it's supposed to be to Reddit what Mastodon is to Twitter. https://lemmy.world/c/theppshow Not sure if it will catch on but in the short term it's something to keep an eye on.



So people get to harass my poor innocent stock ticker all day and face no consequences, but I post one guy's home address and my community gets banned? SMH.





We must be onto something monumental for (((them))) to have taken the unprecedented, completely unbelievable step of banning a subreddit. That doesn't just happen.



If you are confused, it just means you haven't spent enough time reading the scripture.

Well, that's all in the past. Now, thanks to Lemmy, the free thinking apes of the PP Show can finally post without being shackled by the Reddit administrators and their six-figure hedge fund paychecks. Let's see what new horizons of financial wisdom they are pioneering over there.

Lemmy was brought up a bunch as a potential place to run to during the mod blackouts a few months ago. IIRC even during the time when everyone was talking of running from Reddit few people were using it.

I don't think it's a particularly (technologically) mature platform. I use Mastodon and I looked into Lemmy when I dropped Reddit - there was a server I was interested in but making an account required some manual greenlight from the administrator. But! because it's federated I can follow the Lemmy instance from my Mastodon account and interact with comments. But! I can't make posts, just replies to other people's posts.

It's about 70% of the way there.

He was intentionally sending coded messages and interacting with apes early on, I wouldn't be surprised if he thought this was a game.

But if he went public they'd have to be first in line to buy the float, since "short attacks" would immediately send the stock price into the dumpster.

What is the obvious reason he mentions that he can't support Elon?

He literally made millions off of them from the BBBY play, so the only reason not to do it is if you're worried that the SEC or congress might start looking at you again.

DFV/RoaringKitty hosed off and went silent almost certainly because he was just a rando that made bank from the apes and had to talk to congress about it, and didn't want to risk that poo poo again (or getting doxed/stalked/swatted by an ape).

Pretty much everyone who's on the internet long enough gets into the habit of being ready to jump ship from their usual platforms, even before they start getting enshittified.

The new management want a a do-over after supposedly ditching the crypto/ blockchain bullshit. Most interesting part of the video was the fate of the original founders - despite making a fortune from selling the site they're now crypto evangelists.
