This is an appreciation comment, stating how thankful I am that this Lemmy instance was kicked into gear. I'm glad this is here so when reddit implodes, and discord is all noise, and X does something fucked, there's this.

Thanks to the lemmings!

oh i think i'm a ruby more than a rube

The thing is, to jump in on this i still wouldn't sell my GME, because it wouldn't make a huge difference to what Io what I have to put into this. I am a lower income ape, i work less than full time, so I can take the money i put into GME about every 2 months to buy a single handful of shares and put it towards AI instead if I really wanted to jump in on this alleged goldrush, but i wouldn't know the first thing about what to buy. And besids, the only people that really strike it rich in a goldrush are the outfitters, which in this case are still the shitty brokers likely sending everything to Citadel in PFOF.

So if you have the hot tip of "put $100 into and it'll be 10000X next month!" then let me know and I'll throw my next $100 i would have bought GME with into that, but I'm not selling any GME, especially not the DRS'd bits because I spent so goddam much to DRS them, and those shares either become a phone book number or I die with them still in my account.

that's a great idea!

no, i don't think i will.

Thanks! I'm glad there's a lemmy instance to put them on! I usually make recombinant pattern sets with the lines, but the GME saga seemed ripe for embedding words/acronyms into so I have really leaned into that the past couple years, I like how the set is turning out.

instead of fediverse perhaps it should be fedoraverse

Call me whatever you want, when I hear "Lemmy" I think Motorhead, so maybe we're "Kilmisters"

great graphic thanks!

so what happens if the server i have a user account on disappears? does my account disappear and I just make a new one on a different server? do all the posts/comments disappear like if a user deletes their account on reddit?

yes, usenet user from way back, so this all makes sense. So I could start the group "spandex hamsters" all about making ballet unitards for hamsters, and it will show up as a community for all Lemmy users (Lemmings?). ie. everyone has the ability to make alt.hamsters.spandex in the old Usenet parlance.

cool beans, thanks.
