Discord bans WallStreetBets server for 'hateful and discriminatory content'

The group chat service banned the server associated with the wildly popular WallStreetBets subreddit Wednesday, saying the move had nothing to do with the ongoing GameStop stock drama.

The spokesperson reiterated, via email, that the decision is unrelated to the coordinated r/wallstreetbets effort to beat back GameStop short sellers that has won over the internet.

"To be clear, we did not ban this server due to financial fraud related to GameStop or other stocks." Read more...
