A man named Joseph Neibich sued Reddit for defamation with intent to unmask 50 anonymous /r/Screenwriting members, but, unsurprisingly, he failed. He then tried to have this case sealed, but, once again, he was denied. So, now, he has actually hired people to create positive posts about how totally amazing he is in order to manipulate algorithms about his case and his /r/Screenwriting harassment on search engines.

Below is the original drama from 2021:

https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/l5cbbs/rscreenwriting_under_fire_as_a_screenplay_contest/

https://old.reddit.com/r/Screenwriting/comments/mkfuuz/fyi_these_screenwriting_contests_operated_by_a/

Screenwriters flagged a group of scam contests that exploited aspiring writers by race, gender, sexuality, religion, and/or location for $50+ per entry and then posted warnings on /r/Screenwriting. The contest manager, a fledgling middle-aged screenwriter from Arizona, threatened to sue Reddit if the original posts weren't removed. The moderators stood their ground and case 20STCV10291 was filed in an LA Circuit Court. Over the course of 2 years, that contest manager harassed /r/screenwriting members, both on social media and by calling them personally once he learned their true identities that had been hidden behind the JOHN/JANE DOE ones.

The case lagged on until the contest manager and other parties settled out of court, and it was dismissed in 2021. The contest manager hired online reputation services to remove any mention of his name in case 20STCV10291 from the internet. For example: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx v. Reddit Inc - Trellis Law or Santa Clara Law's Digital Commons.

Long after Reddit was dismissed in this legal case, the contest manager continued to harass one of /r/Screenwriting's moderators, who then posted the following warning:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Screenwriting/comments/ntxqul/important_if_you_have_been_harassed_by_joseph/

Nobody really cared about this lawsuit anymore. That is, until 2023, when Reddit admins posted Reddit's Defense of Section 230 to the Supreme Court, which actually referenced the original /r/SubredditDrama post linked above.

TL;DR: The Supreme Court is hearing for the first time a case regarding Section 230, a decades-old internet law that provides important legal protections for anyone who moderates, votes on, or deals with other people's content online.

Now, this embarrassing old legal case - 20STCV10291 Neibich v. Reddit - would actually be referenced by the largest court in the United States.

To update /r/Screenwriting about the Reddit Amicus Brief, moderator /u/wemustburncarthage posted the thread /r/Screenwriting mentioned in the Reddit Amicus Brief to SCOTUS. She mentioned some context about the contest manager's ongoing behavior:

He has stalked, harassed and defamed many of us for calling out his fraud, and while some of us were lucky to receive pro bono legal representation (me included, thanks to the support mentioned in this brief) not all of us had that option, and were put to unjust expense.

A lot of us are still recipients of his obnoxious attention seeking behaviour, hedged under the guise of his delusional belief in his own importance as an industry player. He's not an industry player. He's a citation in a landmark US Supreme Court case, forever enshrined in that legal history, defined in precisely the character he deserves.

Later in 2023, the contest manager decides to file a Request to Seal Records in order to completely hide his case from the public. While that's going on, something weird begins to happen on Reddit...

The username /u/JeffreyJosephNeibich was registered on Reddit and is quickly suspended before he can post anything (because any user name with josephneibich in it is automatically suspended).

/u/JeffreyJosNeibich (now suspended) then pops up instead and begins to spam their user page with random positive facts about the contest manager (all of these have now been deleted, of course):

His love for animals:

Love helping animals get adopted with my hubby Jeffrey Joseph Neibich

Hiking trips with his fictitious wife, "Hillary":

Hillary L Neibich is camping with Jeffrey Joseph Neibich at HorseShoe Bend

And, of course, helping the homeless:

Joseph Neibich took his only day off last week to help a homeless woman find housing.

(The only comment on the post about was from him, and it simply said "Yea." This dude genuinely thought that confirming a post that he himself made would lend it credibility. I also love that he imagines that he's a great script writer, yet that's the best fake story that he could invent to venerate himself. It legitimately reads like North Korean propaganda for Kim Jong-Un.)

Once the contest manager's request to seal all records was denied by the LA Court, a new subreddit popped up in the hopes of overshadowing negative search results from Google:

/r/JosephNeibich (now set to private) - "All about the life and works of Joseph Neibich"

Posts were made on the subreddit such as:

Life and Work of Joseph Neibich

Joseph Neibich's journey in the film industry is a story of passion, creativity, and hard work. From his early days in marketing at...

Biography of Joseph Neibich:

Joseph started his career in film in 1997, when he moved to Los Angeles and began working in marketing at Paramount Pictures. This experience...

Joseph Neibich Charity Works

...and so forth.

Try it for yourself by searching for "reddit neibich" on Google. Instead of information about the previously mentioned case, you're instead greeted with results about how wonderful and amazing this heroic human being is.

The posts on /r/JosephNeibich came with totally legitimate comments from completely real Redditors such as...

/u/Fresh-Ad8642 (now suspended):

I like it I like it

I like

I like

I like it

/u/Sweet_Peet_Scotch (now suspended):

So great and powerful

So great and powerful

So great and powerful

/u/Intelligent-Love6969 (now suspended):

Silly love

/u/Street-Ad-6308:

Joseph Neibich is great consumer advocate! I love it.

And some other totally earnest new Reddit accounts who just happened to only post about Joseph Neibich:

/u/Academic-CatLover (now suspended)

/u/SeaworthyDiver676

/u/DesignerMortgage9799

/u/TinyWarrior4Love

In other words, a Redditor has been hired by Joseph Neibich to post on /r/JosephNeibich in order to make Joseph Neibich look better on Google search results. Right before that user began posting about Neibich, however, they only concentrated on OnlyFans updates.

A parody subreddit, /r/JosephNeib-word (get it? ), has also been set up.

Will it work? Or will Joseph Neibich go back to his old ways where he is emailing moderators threatening legal action? Whatever happens, we know one thing: it will be far more entertaining than any script that Neibich could ever write.

Some rdramanaughts are always surprised that some redditor or x-tweetor says chud unironically, when it's part of rdrama lingo, and we say it unironically too, with contempt towards the rightoid Canibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, that we apply it to. So don't be surprised, and instead start using it unironically.

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. THE WEST HAS HAD ENOUGH OF POOS.

Blah blah blah blah the title said it all. Nothing to see here just come at 6 and watch two old r-slurred people argue with each other and lie alot at: https://rdrama.net/chat

The one good exclusive VR title I know of was Half Life Alyx. Since then it has been crickets over there.

VR as a concept has so much potential so why does has it not taken off so far? Especially in terms of worthwhile exclusives of the AAA variety?

At the very least they could try to step up conversion of pc/ps/xbox games to PSVR variants but they don't even do that outside of resident evil games.

https://www.techradar.com/best/the-best-vr-games

VR should be a whole lot bigger than it is today. What is holding it back? The weight of the headset? The price? The image quality and resolution?

Nevermind it's definitely weight. PSVR2 weighs 560 grams.

If they could get VR weight down below 200 grams they have a real chance at selling them in the mass market. No way its happening before that though.

Your thoughts?

Of course she's pansexual and of course she'd dating a guy (brown dude in every Netflix show) lol.

Governor of Florida Ron DeathSantis vetoed a bill worth $30 million in grants. Naturally, art is very important and the kids that get art degrees and art scholarships are going to be very important contributors to society, or they would've been if not for those darn conservatives

RON DESANTIS: You have your tax dollars being given in grants to things like the Fringe Festival, which is like a sexual festival where they're doing all this stuff, and it's like, how many of you think your tax dollars should go to fund that?

As usual, it's the gays' fault.

BRUTUS: That's a Latin jazz jam session at the arts garage in Delray Beach. It's a small venue with music, theater and comedy shows. It was expecting more than $70,000 in state funding.

Nooooo think of the Latin Jazz scene in some random guy's garage, they NEED $70k in free money to survive!!

WALDO: We gave out over a thousand free tickets in the last year. We'll have to look at every dollar differently as a result of this.

>WHAT DO YOU MEAN we have to actually CHARGE for stuff instead of just giving it out for free?! This is outrageous!

BRUTUS: According to analysis by the state of Florida, arts and culture organizations generate nearly $6 billion a year in economic activity. It attracts tourist activity and employs a lot of people.

This is a good point, but it just emphasizes that museums popular with tourists should get the lion's share of any remaining grants, and Janet Moonflower running a poetry slam in her basement should take a hike

Get a job you bums!

I want custom mudflaps on the Bronco and I'm amenable to marsey ones

What should they be? I don't know I'm busy rn and can't think good so I'm just posting this before I forget

Suggest an existing marsey and if approved I'll give you 2500dc

Propose a new one and design it yourself (or commission someone very gifted to) and I'll give you 25k if approved

• Nothing sexual, I park this at church and such.

• Nothing TOO racist though I am open to something mildly racist. Not optimal though.

Well, people lost their minds because of a black stormtrooper. Everything kinda just went downhill from there.You want to know what happened and why everything is so divided? Look in a mirror. Too many people spending too much time focusing on things they hate. (-8)

I honestly believe that Disney is actively astroturfing subreddits. (10)

You can't imagine people liking a thing you dislike? (-1)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Honestly yeah, the internet really just creates an echo chamber. (4)

The Internet should never have existed.I love the six Star Wars films. And to me, the Disney products are bad. Not because of Rey, Finn, Rose Tico, the Witches or because I'm a C.H.U.D.Disney Wars is bad because the writing is awful. The characters are awful. The poor respect for the source material is noticeable. The continuity errors are laughable. Disney just doesn't understands or cares for Star Wars. And I might sound like a gatekeeper, but neither do the "fans" like the one from the image above.And neither do the Youtubers that focus on spreading hate just for click and views. Being mad about something, anything, is more easy to do than do just debate about the merits of a work.Apathy is worse than hate. It's best to just ignore the Acolyte and whatever bad Disney Wars product comes out later. (6)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

The show is FINE, its not the scum of the earth trash you guys are saying it is. Being real, its so unremarkable that this much discourse about it is just stupid. I have enjoyed The Acolyte, and i have shared said opinion with most of my friends and they agree. I also got death threats on twitter for having the audacity to have a different opinion on the show. If you don't like it, fine, live your life. But saying the show killed your grandma because of whatever nitpicky problems you've found with it this week, is simply insulting to film and tv criticism in general. if you genuinely hate the show that much, than don't watch, and move on with your life. (-3)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Disney shills can't argue the merits because by any standard the acolyte is bad.It cost a fortune but looks cheapWriting is bad, story makes no senseBreaks loreTerrible fight choreographyPoor acting from most of the castThey know all this so all they can do is hurl insults and hope you go away, but that's never worked since they started in 2016.
