# What is Lemmy? Lemmy is open source software used for running individually hosted social media networks in the style of Reddit. It is built on the ActivityPub protocol, and is part of the Fediverse. We wrote this introduction with Apes in mind, but you may also want to check out the introduction and tutorials at join-lemmy.org located at https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/01-getting-started.html # How is Lemmy structured and moderated compared to Reddit? Lemmy has Instance administrations and Community moderators The analog is Reddit administrators and Subreddit moderators Instance admins can perform all mod actions on all communities, just like Reddit admins can perform all mod actions on all subreddits Meanwhile, Community/Subreddit mods only moderate their community or subreddit # What is the Fediverse? The Fediverse refers to a collection of social media software which all are open source, independently hosted, and can choose to interact with each other. These software are all built on the same protocol and can interact with each other and share users. When instances opt in to the broader system, they are ‘federated’. # Tips for signing up When you make an account on a federated Lemmy instance like this one, you can interact with all other instances and communities which are federated. The differences between instances are up to individual instance admins, who decide who can sign up and what content is allowed on their instance along with moderation rules. https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/signup When signing up, Lemmy can freeze up if the username you are trying to register already exists or if you are using a password longer than 63 characters long. As detailed in the instance policies, limiting data collection means that no email account recovery is supported. Please ensure that you save your login information somewhere securely such as a KeePass data file. After signing up, there is a verification process which is manual. Our DRS instance admins do their best to check and approve applicants quickly. # Have you reviewed our Instance Policies? See here: https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/post/1209 TLDR: Treat **everything** you submit to this instance as public. Instance admins (we) will attempt to reduce data collection as much as practicable, and will maintain open access for anyone to view posts and comments on this instance. # Different clients you can use, and how to set them up Once you have your account created and approved, you can choose to browse Lemmy through an app or other client. You can find some apps here: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/ ## Web https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org ## Android - Connect - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect&gl=us - Jerboa - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jerboa&gl=us ## iPhone - Voyager app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762 - Alternatively, how to install Voyager (f.k.a WefWef) as a progressive web app on iOS: https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/post/10616 - ...and how to add Lemmy to the iOS home screen: https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/post/4489 # 👀 Following Superstonk via Lemmy The lemmit.online instance replicates a number of Reddit subs to Lemmy communities through an automated bot which crossposts content. You can follow those communities through your Lemmy account no matter which instance you signed up on. For Superstonk specifically, just follow !Superstonk@lemmit.online For other subs, find the community you are interested in following, and then paste the community’s tag (listed in the community’s sidebar) into the search function on our instance. For example:  # How to start a new community on this instance Click the Create Community option along the top. You’ll need to select the community name, the URL, and optionally can include sidebar content. On Lemmy, Communities are automatically moderated by the person who creates them. That user can appoint other moderators, pin stickies, and moderate content on that community. It’s very similar to how Subreddits are made and operated. On the lemmy.whynotdrs.org instance, we welcome all communities who wish to discuss the financial markets and surrounding topics including specific stocks, investing styles, rules and regulations, crypto and web3, and the culture around money itself. # List of non-local communities you may want to subscribe to You may want to start your Lemmy journey by browsing some of the largest instances and subscribing to some of their communities. These are some of the largest general instances which cover a wide array of topics. - https://lemmy.ml/ - https://lemmy.world/ - https://beehaw.org/ Each instance has its own user base. Your login credentials on your home instance won’t work anywhere else. If you are using the DRS instance as your home instance, how do you find and subscribe to new communities through your own instance? # How to find new Communities to follow If you're coming over from Reddit, these three resources can help you find migrations for communities you may have followed on Reddit: - https://sub.rehab/ - https://redditmigration.com/ - https://www.quippd.com/writing/2023/06/15/unofficial-subreddit-migration-list-lemmy-kbin-etc.html For finding new communities, perhaps the easiest way to find instances and communities is to search for them on https://lemmyverse.net/ - at the top of the screen, you can filter for either instances or for communities. This will parse ALL federated instances and their associated communities, and is very robust - it will search titles, domains, and sidebars in order to help you find things you are interested in. Set your home instance first. At the top right of the screen, hit the house icon and search for your home instance. Here’s how you can select this DRS instance:  Once your home instance is set, you can easily navigate to communities on any instance by clicking the community name, which will be a generated link.  After that, just hit subscribe on the sidebar and you are good to go!  If necessary, you can create and share URLs which will navigate to any community on any instance from any instance following this formula. https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/c/games@lemmy.world [home instance url] [/c/] [community name] @ [hosting instance name] # Views (New vs Active, and Subscribed vs Local) and setting your default preferences Okay! You have found some communities to follow - these could be on your home instance, on one of the largest and universal instances, or niche communities found through the network search at lemmyverse. Just like with Reddit, you have some choices to make about how you want to interact with the communities you joined. Your main choices are the types of posts to display and the communities to display them from. Lemmy’s own core developers explain it well here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html # Blocking Users, Communities, or Instances which you want to avoid Each user has the ability to block or hide content from specific users or specific communities.  In the case of users, you can block them in order to avoid seeing comments or posts which they make. Click on a user’s name on a comment or post and you’ll see the option at the top of the screen.  For communities, you can avoid ever seeing their posts on your various feeds. While navigating a community, the option to block it will appear on the right sidebar. # Public Moderation Logs: How they work and how to search them Lemmy’s moderation logs for all instance administrator actions and community moderator actions are available for public review at all times - and do not require sign up to access. https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/modlog Moderation logs are collected together for all federated instances, and so can be difficult to parse in real time without searching for a specific mod. Once you type the name of an individual mod, select them from the dropdown and you can review all mod or admin actions they have taken. Posts which were removed can also be viewed and scrutinized here. There is complete transparency into moderation actions. - https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/modlog?page=1&modId=2 - admin account admin history - https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/modlog?page=1&modId=4 - Chives account admin history - https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/modlog?page=1&modId=487 - Bibic account admin history

*This post originally appeared in Superstonk on March 28, 2023 (just after our most recent annual 10-K report)* My favorite takeaway from the 10-K: the majority of apes continue to hold. 197k active holders vs 210k all-time holders. Given that 4.7k holders were already inactive before March 2022, this means that 95.9% of holders that *could* continue to hold *did so*.     PS. That's before even accounting for the reality that some apes had duplicate account numbers that they may have consolidated

Hey apes! The censorship I spend most of my time bringing to light on this co is from (presumably) personally driven censorship decisions on Reddit. Today, I'm going to cover an ongoing story on censorship from the federal government itself. https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/07/11/historic-first-judge-blocks-biden-admins-orwellian-collusion-big-tech-suppress-free-speech/ In case you missed the original injunction that came out two weeks ago, a Federal judge issued a temporary injunction on the Biden administration prohibiting them, in no uncertain terms, from urging/pressuring/inducing social media companies to remove/suppress content containing protected free speech.  What is particularly interesting to me is the sheer detail of this injunction - 155 pages citing examples of past actions, examples of targeted individuals, and naming dozens of specific individuals and departments in the government who are specifically being put on notice. While I'm not any sort of legal analyst, I think the amount of detail in this injunction sets a clear tone for the remainder of case. Basically, I take this as presumptive evidence that the government has been caught with its hands in the cookie jar and is guilty here. (Not that this is a criminal action. I'm using guilty in the vernacular sense) Freedom of speech is essential. Be suspicious of apparently "private" censorship on the internet. Demand accountability from your government. Demand transparency in finance. BUY, HOLD, DRS, BOOK, SHOP, COMMENT, SPREAD THE WORD.

Migration note: This post originally appeared on Reddit/Superstonk in April of 2022. 👋️🦍️⌚️📖️🍆️⚖️ Hey apes, time to RTFL: Read The Fucking Law. (That's the law they use to fuck us) Can't read? No problem, I'll TACR it for you. Don't like my TACR? No problem, read it yourself. Can't read AND don't like my TACR? Find a lawyer and get them to read it for you. First, disclaimers - I'm a big proponent of DRSing shares. I've been holding since Jan 2021, DRS'd in September, 99% DRS'd since October. I am not a lawyer, just reading (#blessed) Let's start with where I started, the Queen herself:  https://twitter.com/SusanneTrimbath/status/1438653922449641472 Interesting enough on its own, I'd say. I like having rights and protections. But what is this "entitlement holder"? The answer lies in the Uniform Commercial Code, in Article 8 on investment securities:  https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/8/8-102  This part bears quoting in text - Entitlement holder: person having a security entitlement against the securities intermediary (broker). So while an "entitlement" may at first sound like an absolute thing, in actuality, it is specifically "against" your broker. It just means your broker owes you a share. Hmm, what does that remind me of?  That's as good as shares, sir. That's a share IOU Ok, so if an "entitlement holder" only has a "security entitlement" (share IOU from their broker), then how can someone know if they have a share IOU or a real share? What is a real share? Not an "entitlement" to a security, but the "security" itself?  Uhhh.... many word, such read, wut mean? TACR: To be a security, something has to not fall under the exceptions in 8-103, and it has to meet all three criteria (i), (ii), and (iii). The exceptions in 8-103 carve out things which explicitly are not securities, like options, commodity contracts, things which don't trade on markets, etc. None of them seem to apply to GME, but you can read it for yourself. Now, to be a security, each of (i), (ii), and (iii) must be true. Let's look at (i) specifically: (i) which is represented by a security certificate in bearer or registered form, or the transfer of which may be registered upon books maintained for that purpose by or on behalf of the issuer; So to be a security, this must be true, which means at least one of these things: - It is represented by a security certificate in bearer form - It is represented by a security certificate in registered form - The transfer of the thing is registered upon the books, maintained for the purpose of registration, by the issuer (GameStop) or for the issuer (i.e. by their transfer agent, Computershare) So, if you do not have a certificate (which is hard to come by these days, pretty much no one deals in stock certificates anymore), and you are not registered on the books maintained by Gamestop/Computershare, then you do not have a GME security. Full stop. How does one get onto these books that are maintained by GameStop's transfer agent Computershare? (Spoiler: It's through Computershare) Honestly, that should be the end of this post right there. Unfortunately, due to certain derivative repping shills, I also have to talk about why a share IOU is not just as good as a share.  https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/8/8-503 An entitlement holder's property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under subsection (a) is a pro rata property interest in all interests in that financial asset held by the securities intermediary, "Pro rata" means proportional. "To the extent necessary for a securities intermediary to satisfy all security entitlements" means when push comes to shove. If your broker doesn't have enough shares for all the IOUs they've handed out, you'll have to make do with fewer shares than you have share IOUs. If the DTC doesn't have enough shares for all the share IOUs they've handed out, you'll have to make do with fewer shares than you have share IOUs. Edit to add this paragraph: I've responded to a comment saying "of course, all shares are pro-rata". To be clear, there is a difference between a pro-rata interest in the issuer (what we assume a share means), and a pro-rata interest in "that financial asset held by the security intermediary" (what this law states). The basis for determining this pro-rata proportion is not the company's issued/authorized/outstanding shares, but the potentially much larger number of shares owed by the intermediary to its entitlement holders. As an example, if a broker sold 1000 shares, including 100 to you, but only received and holds 500, you have property interest in just 50 shares, not the 100 you see neatly credited to your account. But that's just my interpretation, what do I kn-- huh? what's that SEC staff?  https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/2007/spch101607ers.htm Alright, let's wrap this post up. To summarize: - A real share (security) is registered on the books maintained for the issuer, by their transfer agent (or is certificated) - A share IOU from your broker (security entitlement) is what you actually have when your "shares" are not registered - A share IOU is not as good as a share. It is a pro-rata property interest in real shares held by the DTC/Cede & Co. - If you want to have a share instead of be owed a share, you gotta ask your broker to deliver what they owe you  All along, we said the secret ingredient was crime. And there is a lot of crime. But there is also a non-trivial amount of technically legal non-delivery due to holders not RTFL and not asking for delivery of what they paid for and are owed. PS. Special shout outs to u/millertime1216 and u/mistakesnmoney for motivating me to write this. 🦍️❤️🦍️. Shout out to DRS haters for frustrating me enough to go look up all these laws. To any shills coming for me in the comments: hope you're not selling covered calls, those pro-rata shares may not cover you when shit hits the fan.
