Strings of rocket emojis signify how the group wants to send GME’s price “to the moon.” Users encourage each other to have “diamond hands” (represented in emojis, of course), a riff on the strength of diamonds and a user’s strength to last through big market swings.

And, at first glance, they’re speaking a foreign language.

It’s hard to overstate how big the WallStreetBets group has gotten.
