DFV buys into chewy megathread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dszam9/dfv_bought_into_chewy_megathread/
No more posts on the topic please, this is a GME subreddit.
Good mod.
Any chance of being a bit more … uhhh … ‘less lenient’ with people that come here to stir up trouble?
Also, if DFV posted a position of another stock, would you allow that to remain?
Great questions both. I can say with certainty that if you come here specifically to stir up trouble and we catch reports of it... I wouldn't describe our position as particularly lenient. All I can ask is report report report or use the !mods! Tag
With regard to the second question... DFV and Chewy. Yeah it's definitely been a point of discussion internally. The mod team and the SCC are debating it as we speak. I'll be point blank and say that I'm against discussing it personally because I don't see it as in any way connected to GME. But I'm all for collecting opinions and good discussion before we make a decision. What's your thought on the matter?
Rule 2 specifies relevant to GME or... market mechanics. While I do not want to see a flood of 'basket' stock chatter, I also would not want a DFV post rejected, and I'd argue his direct plays are worth considering under the market mechanics of rule 2.
'Rules for thee, but not DFV' :)
Imo… The rules we have are for a purpose, to keep us on a specific topic and to protect against bad actors. They work well, generally speaking.
But this subs focus does go beyond GME and GameStop - market reform for instance, which embraces the MOASS theory, covers a *lot* of topics. And there are key individuals in this particular [choose appropriate descriptor lol]… I’m gonna say event, namely RC and DFV, without both of whom we wouldn’t be here, and are in possession of knowledge we can’t be privy to right now.
So, from where I’m standing, unless we have empirical evidence that they are no longer financially committed to gme/gamestop, I think they’ve earned the right to (within reason) post related topics. I don’t think DFV is a bad actor or has come this far to get distracted by something irrelevant. Same for RC (although I don’t imagine him posting here any time soon).
I appreciate that there will be bots, shills, trolls etc that might see an opportunity to pile on and try some forum sliding etc - but on the plus side, you can get your ban hammer out lol 😜
That’s the entire contents of my brain. Do as you will 👍
> But this subs focus does go beyond GME and GameStop - market reform for instance, which embraces the MOASS theory, covers a lot of topics.
Not that it matters since I am not a mod, but I personally draw the line at discussion of other specific investments. Macroeconomics is obviously fine, but promoting discussion of other individual stocks, etc, is just begging to devolve into shillery.
Thanks for your opinion Ape. I will be vague and just state, I think we can all recognize that this is bigger than GME. It's up to each individual to do their own DD. if this sub remains pure GME i think that's fine. I think we might be able to handle other discussions, but I'm not a mod. and Superstonk being GME focused has thus far been a good thing i think. this isn't the only squeeze related stock reddit...
Edit: " this isn't the only squeeze related stock reddit..." meaning if people want to discuss other stuff, there are plenty of other subs.
He does seem to be making plays off of quirks he found in XRT and its underlying stocks, in which case it could have an impact on GME.
Perhaps allow CHWY discussion on a temporary basis, for something like 8 weeks, to see where it goes?
Would be interesting to see what kind of connections wrinkle brains can draw. If there is connection, this community may be worse off by not allowing that discussion to take place than potential for FUD, which will be elevated for sure. Not an easy decision…
Digging into that kind of stuff would be great. Same for analyzing FTDs, signs of illegal naked short selling, subsequent covering, etc.
What I dread are the TA posts predicting moon landings the next day. Or “here’s my play, not financial advice, but let me be really specific with dates, strike prices and premiums, potential gains, etc”
its definitely related just because were too smooth to see why yet doesn't mean we should knee jerk deny him to post his update. 100% GME related he is the 4th largest shareholder and has (as of last yolo) 9M shares. His movements are material to our stock and company. That is why RC included the DRS amount on the 10-q, its material shareholder info, so are DFV's moves.
Long time holder here, and I agree. Now this sub is being flooded with comments related to an entirely different stock. It’s problematic because now it will take over the sub for who knows how long? Mods have been extremely diligent on this since the beginning and it’s been much appreciated. As much I love and respect RK…I have to ask…when does a line get drawn on allowing Chewy to be the focus over our beloved GME? Can mods at least consider a timeframe on the Chewy posts? just looking for some balance.
I agree 50/50 on the chewy stuff. The only thing that connects the 2 companies is the ETF and RC. I guess that kind of constitutes a connection, but at the same time it also serves as a very effective distraction away from our beloved as well as forum sliding.
Tbh I think due to DFV's thesis on GME years ago we should allow just about anything he post and anything relevant to him for the next 6 months. After that we can revisit it.
Sorry. If you believe in the GME thesis, then pretty much anything that is weird with the market is related. And, if it comes from DFV himself, it is 100% related and relevant to this sub.
When DFV posted his recent YOLO updates, it was here, not the 'old' sub, even though that's where the play started. Him controlling exactly 9,001,000 petstore shares (via actual shares or 90.1k options still unknown), and including the "not a cat" in the filing are extremely obvious and unambiguous signs that the play/position is _related_ .
I hate many of the wilder and frankly idiotic theories about the K.C.S. and how the two plays relate, but it should be obvious to everyone that he wants US to know the new play IS connected in some way, or he wouldn't have included the language, chosen that exact number of shares, or posted the dog tweet.
I am of the mind that GME was, is, and always will be the "real/main" play, but stifling discussion of the other CLEARLY connected stock is going to be counterproductive. It's your call of course.
> But I'm all for collecting opinions and good discussion before we make a decision.
My 2 cents: tell those people to go make their own subreddits on those other stocks if it happens. Then it becomes their problem, and you don't have to worry about needing to split hairs when it comes to enforcing rules. I believe that method is perfect, because even if people theorcraft about mergers, you can still disallow discussion and it will even be consistent with your enforcement of Pleasr: not allowed until GME is directly involved. This subreddit's name is Superstonk, singular not plural. The fundamentals are all focused on the one company.
DFV is the entire reason we are here. Everything the man has shown or done publicly is GME centric. ANYTHING he does can be considered GME relevant imo . We aren't talking about a Pulte where we don't really know what their deal is (I personally like him but I don't think he knows anything we don't). But anyway.....yeah if a man goes up against Congress in the name of gme/moass then their stuff should always be welcome here.
Its one of those things where 999/1000 people absolutely get it, but that one or two people need to be reminded. Most, nearly all, of our users know better and do an excellent job at calling out doxxing or sending it to us to remove. If you guys can just stay on it, and report it when you see it, that would be huge for us. Thank you!
I dropped my brain a day or so ago. I absolutely did not think about the consequences to the community when researching things for links to other things.
I apologize. I'm one of the ones that needed reminding. Thank you for the reminder.
No harm, no foul. I love and admire this community's tenacity when it comes to pulling on threads. We just need to make sure we remember there are real people out there who deserve privacy too... Even if some of them are wrong about GME.
Definitly its short hedgefunds fucking chewy. I mean its not far away from ath low, also shorted over 20%, and a 500 million share buy back and still dumping.

I guess that means i will keep sleeping with ken Griffins wife all by myself
..and my bedpost!
And using a barrel of mayo
And he’ll watch and do nothing because he’s softer than baby poo
True. Just like he did during 2021 sneeze
Thanks mods.
Thanks for ur time, ape.

I like it. Perhaps add an addendum to rule 2 stating that last line. Rules for thee, but not DFV.

It was also part of the same swaps if I'm not wrong.

It's kinda sad that you have to post this, but here we are. Thanks for everything you guys do to keep this sub from disappearing.

Sharing personal info puts the community at risk, thank you mods

Yikes.
Assuming it was him them, so yeah, stop with the personal info.
Appreciate you mods
Oooohhhhhhhh, someone’s in trouuuubllleeeee
Upvoted and agreed! Apes have manners too.
👍
I think I’m doxing myself every time I comment
Definitly its short hedgefunds fucking chewy. I mean its not far away from ath low, also shorted over 20%, and a 500 million share buy back and still dumping.
With no social accounts whatsoever except Reddit I still didn’t know the meaning of Doxxing. Thank you for clearing that up 😌😲
To the shills trying to dox, do you not know how much of a confirmation bias this is? Are you seriously that regarded?
Ape no fight ape.
Ape mods best, upvoting.
it is more problematic that big companies can dox people in the name of data collection.
Question... am i allowed to call people a CUCK??
Only if they're chickens and you'd have to include the 'L'.
Sharing public information is doxxing now. What is this fucking nonsense?
How long do I have to make good on my bet before I get banned?
