I build an ecommerce community around the Akemi Lab Discord, where I share research, talk with members about ecommerce and other topics, and invite entrepreneurs to join. My community activity and invitations are distinct from the success stories I sometimes share from other people.
On December 12, 2024, I said almost all of the research I post on X comes from the Akemi Lab Discord, and that there is much more research available by joining. I am active there every day, chatting with the community about ecommerce and various topics; I described the conversations as fun and high level.
On December 17, 2024, I posted “Akemi Lab Discord!” with https://t.co/K0aW3zZlkp and https://t.co/4pxYrk7Vj7. The captured post does not explain what the links lead to.
On December 22, 2024, I invited people to join my Discord community of entrepreneurs, linking https://t.co/SMPNHZFaay. I was replying to @ariesnotebook, whose quoted post called a Shopify niche store “A Genius $400,000,000/Year”; that headline claim belongs to @ariesnotebook, not me, and the capture does not verify it.
On December 23, 2024, I invited people to join my free Discord community and shared a memberships link, https://t.co/ki4C0YmS7Y. The post again replied to @ariesnotebook’s Shopify-store headline; the $400,000,000/Year claim was theirs, not a claim that I owned or operated the store.
On February 4, 2025, I invited people interested in hanging out with ecommerce entrepreneurs to join the Akemi Lab Discord. I shared https://t.co/SMPNHZECl0 and https://t.co/8dxFnaGm1w; the captured post does not explain what the second link leads to.
On February 20, 2025, replying to @Defifarmr and addressing @hodlhodl33, I invited them to ask questions and said they could also join the free Discord to ask there. I said I was always active and loved my community, and shared https://t.co/SMPNHZECl0.
On April 22, 2025, I invited Shopify founders, media buyers, agency owners, investors, aspiring entrepreneurs, dropshippers, and affiliates to join the Discord, including people who fit multiple categories. I said we provide free resources, tools, and a vibrant community, and shared https://t.co/zhOhLFEbmC and https://t.co/TEQg2RQzQe. This community invitation sits alongside my other shopilab platform updates and promotion.
On November 15, 2025, replying to @ariesnotebook’s “How to compete in a competitive market” post, I thanked the ShopiLab affiliates and clippers for making a video. I invited people to join the Discord to help grow the community and platform and make reoccurring income, sharing https://t.co/gr5BPTrjBA. The post did not specify the affiliate or clipping arrangements, income potential, or the video’s contents; this promotion also relates to accelerator and membership promotions.
On November 22, 2025 at 15:57 UTC, I reacted to @ezrafirestone’s post about “Zipify's Behind the Music— Ezra Firestone’s Legendary Black Friday Sale” by calling him a “F*cking legend” and adding 🤣🤘. The promotional claims—including “million-dollar days” and the offer to give away the entire strategy “for free”—belonged to @ezrafirestone, not me. The captured post ends with “Get Ezra’s...”, so I do not know what followed or what the offer included.
On February 28, 2026 at 12:40 UTC, I replied to @Phenomenxn, saying they could go to the Discord and click on support if they were having issues, and that we would help troubleshoot as soon as possible. The captured exchange does not say what “you can” referred to, what issue they might have had, or whether it was resolved.
