Amazon provided the web servers for Parler. Discord is the company that provided the servers for r/WallStreetBets, which is the Reddit group that has been the forum that all the traders have gather on to take down the hedge fund speculators, in one of the greatest David vs Goliath stories of our time.

Today Discord pulled the plug on the group's reddit servers. But a number of the members of the group rapidly set up new servers and they group is apparently back online now.

Discord bans the r/WallStreetBets server, but new ones have sprung to life

Discord has banned the r/WallStreetBets server, the company confirmed to The Verge — but that hasn’t stopped hundreds of thousands of its members from forming at least two new servers where they’ve continued to pump stocks like GameStop, AMC and more to unprecedented highs, with GameStop in particular briefly hitting $483 a share on Thursday morning. (It traded around $4 early this year.)

Discord says it did not ban the WallStreetBets server for financial fraud — rather, it was banned because it continued to allow “hateful and discriminatory content after repeated warnings.” The Verge gained access to the server and can confirm the claim that users of the channel were spamming hateful language, including racial slurs.
So the reason that Discord banned the server was - wait for it - "hate speech". Apparently the establishment financial elites hated the speech and the effect if was having on the value of its portfolios, so they twisted the arms of the people at Discord (not to mention Robinhood, TD Ameritrade and Schwab) and had it shut down.

Is anyone here missing the similarity between the coordinated, politically motivated agenda to shut down unapproved political speech by Google, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon and Apple by these globalist elite types?

This game of musical chairs is continuing to have the chairs removed, one after another. How long will it be before they come for you, or someone that you support and admire?

Everyone should condemn anyone or any group who supports this kind of behavior. This is very dangerous and very bad.

Democrats will soon charge the retail traders with a crime.

And what's funny is the little guys still believe the Democrats elite is for the little guy. They believe thing like "we are going after Wall Street" when at the same time 90% of the Wall Street bribe goes to the Democrats. Every time Democrats wants bribe, they will said they will go after "carry interest". But as soon as Wall Street "contribute" to their campaign, the talk die down.

Facebook also banned a group for reddit wallstreetbets users last night. They had about 157000 members of that group.

Funny reading all these articles about how a 5th grader made $6500 on the stock blah blah blah.

People going to take this one in the shorts harder than the dotcom bust that occurred prior to junior high or even birth for many.

But most of them don’t care. I watched a video of a millionaire saying it didn’t matter to him whether he had 11 million, or 9 million. It wasn’t going to change his life. It’s the same thing for those investing $600. They’d rather teach a lesson to hedge funds shorting 140% of a company’s shares.

To the topic, it will be VERY interesting to see the long-term changes to technology that result from this. Hopefully Google et. al. will see some competition.

The apparent coordination of these banning episodes appears to be malicious and orchestrated.

And they are all rigged by the same group of people, for the benefit of the same group of people - the globalist establishment elites.

People need to not be blinded mindless sheep.
There ARE alternatives to the big techs. Use them. Don’t be scared.
Your life will not end if you close your amazon and Facebook or whatever, etc, accounts.
Find the alternatives and use them. We have nobody to blame but ourselves for letting this happen. The

This didn't age well at all... Democrats are siding with the retail traders.

Conservatives would as well.
