    Just going to copy paste a previous response here:

    Person left the site because all the wall street bets stuff and seeing people gamble with probably to them a large amount of money was making their depression worse. That’s what I could get from their posts before they deleted their account.

    They also previously talked about being broke and how they didn't have to feel ashamed about that on here, and they probably weren't feeling the same way anymore when seeing people gamble large amounts of money

        The memes and coverage can be funny, and it's simultaneously fair of someone to not want to be around it. That's why the separate comm was created, isn't it?

        The only thing I've seen about it on other comms in the last couple days are people continuing to complain about it, and to complain about people talking about what is objectively big financial news.

            Literally why the separate comm was created, just ignore it if you don't wanna see it. I don't even have stonks but just like we talked about line go down last year at length, we an talk about redditors memeing the stock market into crashing too

            Someone is always going to be alienated by some topic, so this notion that the community should as a rule never alienate anyone is unworkable. The best you can do is create a community that alienates as many of the acceptable targets as possible (nazis, transphobes, etc), and as few others as possible, but that's still going to be a non-zero number. Especially when there are disagreements about topics held in good faith.

        ah, you fool, don't you see, this is a prime moment to radicalise redditors, which ones? why they're right here, right out of frame, reading theory along with me
