Discord Bans WallStreetBets For 'Hateful' Content [kotaku.com.au]:

WallStreetBets, the subreddit behind engineering GameStop’s record-shattering stock price surge [kotaku.com.au] over the past week, has been banned from Discord for hate speech, The Verge reports [theverge.com].

GameStop’s stock doubled today, rising from the previous day’s record of over $US150 ($195) to a new peak of over $US300 ($390) a share, all because day traders on the WallStreetBets subreddit decided to try to stick it to the investment world’s big hedge funds. It’s become a big internet joke, but one with real world consequences, including Discord banning the subreddit’s server.
