Thank you for making these post my friend.
To give some additional info about my account personally: I migrated from GME to the jungle when the mass migration happened. I later migrated to SS when things in the jungle became sus. I was actively reading on the sub when the SS migration happened and was one of the first to join SS Sometime after leaving the jungle, I was apparently shadow banned from posting or commenting in the jungle.
SS suppressed my purple circle update post when I mentioned Heat Lamp and wanting to get everything to pure DRS. They had also suppressed several posts and comments on Mainstar.
I was banned from SS for 30 days for being part of the excursion and posts about the Stock List viewing. They couldn’t deny that some of us actually went there (although the SS mods tried to sew doubt we were there) so they banned us and made their pinned hit piece about how we were bad people, Profoundly Stupid, and missed the mark in giving the community actual hard facts about previously speculation. I have unsubbed to that toxic mess and will not be back.
I’m the same as you. Bananyabangarang and I tried to get the word out about Mainstar and kept getting suppressed. I was always able to get someone on the phone at Mainstar if I had a question. They were very fast to do everything to get my account set up.
I’m considering IRA Financial Trust now. They’re pricey, but seems to be about the only show in town now. I have several thousand shares in my IRA so it probably makes sense to pay the fees and get an LLC so I can keep those shares safe. Mainstar is no better than holding at a broker now IMO.
Great write-up of information that needs to be widespread. Additionally, bananyabangarang showed me that Mainstar put my IRA share acct as being enrolled in the Plan.
At least this information won’t be censored here.
