Summary

- Superstonk eventually emerged as the predominant GME subreddit and largest online community of GME shareholders
- For about 2 years, superstonk was a lively place where open discussion of a variety of topics was tolerated
- Starting approximately at the end of 2022, superstonk became increasingly heavy-handed against a variety of topics of discussion, and now actively censors many discussions.
- Many upstanding GME community members have been banned from superstonk — their voice deemed unworthy to participate in the largest GME subreddit by the unaccountable moderators of that subreddit
- As a consequence of the censorship and banning of prominent community members from superstonk, many online shareholders moved to different social media platforms
- Originally, DeepFuckingValue posted on reddit in the Wallstreetbets subreddit. However, after returning to social media in 2024, posted for the first time in superstonk.
- Mainstream financial media has demonstrated awareness of and contempt for the GME shareholders on superstonk, yet they almost never mention the name superstonk.
