There has been some solid advice from people over there, you have to filter the mania, but there are some gems over there.

This morning there were two opposing top posts. 1) summarized as gamble your apes, 2) summarized as manage your risk and don't buy stocks with debt.

There was also a post by a legit investor claiming they covered their losses by selling at peak and everyone should have done this explaining the benefits.

Single stock trading is always a gamble, you should spread your risk and manage your losses in such a way that you win in the end (by selling losses to cover taxes on gains etc).

If you want good financial advice you can find it on WSB, but in general (imo) you should go there to make yourself feel good about your index fund or bad about your index fund. Either way, don't get caught up in the fervor.
