I’ve lived with my ex for over a year i’m already resigned to being the hermit crab equivalent of a man. I have nothing to lose cept this bitch i already hate which makes me incredibly dangerous 🦇
I've been removing a lot of stupid bullshit lately. I am so tired of the political posting and a lot of the other general garbage that gets posted here.
I don't want to curate the subreddit wholesale but the general attitude of this subreddit in current year is absolutely not what I wish it was.
I feel like there’s not much fun drama going on lately, or if there is it’s just getting buried under all the political stuff. All the big happenings are just protest or metoo related
There's plenty of drama going on. The Happenings thread on Kiwifarms is brimming with good shit and KF is where I've been reading most of my daily intake of garbage drama.
People on Reddit just don't seem to like to discuss anything that can't be x-posted with a shitty tryhard title.
I've been thinking about angles to manufacture some drama. Here are some thoughts:
Start posting in ProtectAndServe as some sort of tryhard asshole cop. After a consistent post history in PaS, start having some sort of meltdown in a news thread about police violence and then start messaging the cop haters racial epithets. Sit back and enjoy what comes next.
Start posting in feminist subs about a pregnancy, and then later post in TwoXChromosomes that you had a revenge late term abortion because your husband wasn't woke enough / didn't believe in the wage gap or something like that
if you're not following it closely then it's pretty good just for the raw outrage over something so stupid. The metoo wave hitting the g*mes industry is what I'm talking about tho, there's been a constant stream of messy relationship drama for the past couple weeks.
Only the CHAZ shit was actually amusing from the political drama. If both sides^TM can't mutually be amused by the reetardation of a happening it's just not the same.
The CHAZ mods are removing so much that it's gotten boring. :( There is r/chazchopwatch and r/chazuncensored but the retards at CHAZ only post their pearls of wisdom on the main sub so it's not as funny.
The day of the dramacaust is the day people start downvoting comments they disagree with in r slash drama. It happens and used to happen sometimes but never to the extent we saw in baguette land.
Absolutely agree - it’s shitty how much it’s dominated every facet of reddit and other platforms. I’ve gotten so fuckin burnt out from it. There’s so much other good stuff but it just gets buried. And it divides the audience rather than unites em in laughing at people being r-slurred.
Don’t worry though I feel you, I’ll at least try to find some good stuff.
To be frank, I wish you guys would decide what you do want the subreddit to be and explicitly say so, because it's clearly something other than just any drama people can find.
All of this behind the scenes reddit politics is really, really lame, and whilst most people here don't want this place to end up like Deux, it seems like a couple mods really want this place to be SRD. Past a certain point you have to stop being ironic and tell people what content you do and don't want. Of course you have to curate when the average poster has no idea what you now consider good or bad drama.
Not to mention the weird shit some of you are getting up to. I get going private, I get keeping your head down, but I don't get the weird cutthroat reddit politics a few of you are actively involved in, as that's the complete opposite of keeping your head down and is the complete opposite of the 'no tryhard agendas' policy I thought you guys wanted.
I don't get the weird cutthroat reddit politics a few of you are actively invol
AHS power-users have an actual obsession with r/drama and basically make life as difficult as possible for the admins as long as r/drama is still around. These are legitimately mentally ill people whose lives revolve entirely around their Reddit crusade, and r/drama has been in their crosshairs for years. Whenever they aren't too busy with whatever flavor-of-the-week sub MDE people have created, they go after r/drama. Why do you think r/drama spinoff subs get killed so quickly?
Someone has to actively out them, right? That's where AHS users come into play. MDE morons slip up in their rhetoric, then the hypervigilant AHS users point out these slipups to the admins. Rinse and repeat.
because it's clearly something other than just any drama people can find.
That's the rub though. That is what we want. There isn't any "type" of drama that we want to eliminate or not allow.
The issue isn't the type of content being posted here, it's the how/why it's being posted here.
Take Shaun King for example. He is always surrounded by drama and involving himself in situations that warrant discussion here but people don't post about the drama, they post "omg Talcum X black people are criminals" because people abuse our lax moderation style to post garbage simply to validate their shitty opinions that they can't post elsewhere.
So now we're in this weird situation where we have people posting content that is legitimate content but it's posted and framed in a derogatory way that doesn't allow actual discussion and is basically just a full post version of "lol [insert racist/phobic/slurs here]". It's not fun, constructive (as constructive as internet bullshit can be at least) and is almost impossible to moderate without just removing it wholesale.
it seems like a couple mods really want this place to be SRD.
We just don't want the sub to get banned. We have gone wayyyyy out of our way and spent a lot of time picking apart the site wide rules and messaging/emailing/haranguing the admins for clarifications about where the line between bannable and acceptable content is so that we can continue to be the only place on this site that toes that line.
but I don't get the weird cutthroat reddit politics a few of you are actively involved in
Subreddits aren't isolated fiefdoms anymore, and people that moderate one subreddit probably moderate a lot of them. When you mod a lot of stuff you meet a lot of other mods and you easily get sucked into the drama and general bullshit that any group of people will inevitably create.
We used to have a blanket ban on powermods but a few mods here gradually became powermods after starting out here and they still advocate for this subreddit and it's moderation policy despite it not being popular in any sense of the word.
Also there are off-site mod chats where all the mods hang out and smell each others' farts and is a constant source of drama/discontent/garbage so it's hard to not get involved in that realm.
So now we're in this weird situation where we have people posting content that is legitimate content but it's posted and framed in a derogatory way that doesn't allow actual discussion
I completely agree, but this isn't being well communicated and it's not going to stop until the mods make it a clear, open policy. Too much irony just makes more work for you guys.
To be clear, I don't think you want this place to be SRD, and Lawlz just wants to watch his cartoons, but it does seem like different people on the mod team are pulling in very different directions sometimes.
This has basically forced a lot of us to interact with that realm simply for the sake of keeping track of what we're being reported for and what to watch out for.
Sorry, I was needlessly cryptic; I'm not talking about AHS, I'm talking about the lolepic takeovers of other subs.
I absolutely get keeping a low profile, and I'm hardly going to act like AHS aren't a real fucking problem, but take yiffinhell as the most recent stuff -- based on what a couple of you guys have said elsewhere, that seems to have gotten real personal, to the point that it just feels like the same shit AHS do. There's no drama left when a certain power user effectively deletes subs they don't like, and one or two mods here have very clearly supported it elsewhere. That's the opposite of content, it's just personal power plays, it just makes things worse -- draws more attention by pointlessly pissing off MDE types and if anything gives AHS more excuses.
it does seem like different people on the mod team are pulling in very different directions sometimes.
We have no actual "moderation policy" beyond "allow whatever you possibly can" and this is a moderation playground. We all kind of do whatever we want (I do this with absolute wild abandon much to the dismay of other mods)
Mods here often do things that make no sense or do shit just for fun. It's not an SRDification of the subreddit, it's just us being drunk and stupid.

If it makes you feel better that entire debacle was basically a joke. There was no actual ill intent behind it or or some kind of conspiracy to remove content from the website. They literally did it because they thought it was funny. While I didn't read YiffinHell I did see the conversations that lead to the "takeover" and it was all just kind of a stupid "prank" and they all smelled each others' farts over being able to pull it off.
As far as Corvus goes - they are a powermod for sure but they don't have any kind of agenda or personal war with any kind of content on Reddit like AHS mods do. They're a powermod because they're active and really nice so people like to invite them to stuff. They are very active in our mod discord and I can assure you they aren't trying to undermime anything much less undermine our subreddit here.

Deux getting banned created a vacuum for the type of content that we host and while we were not affiliated with them in any way it's important that there's a place on Reddit to laugh at stupid people doing stupid shit.
The content in this sub while we're private may be better but it's slooooow. We have a tonne of approved users but we only average about 200 active views while private and the majority of people do not interact with the subreddit while it's private. There are basically no comments, few posts, and when something really juicy is happening it's just not as much fun to discuss it because there isn't really anyone there to discuss it with.
Deux getting banned was alarming as they have always been the shittier version of this sub and were basically a canary in the coal mine for us but we have been reassured that we are not on any ban radar as far as the admins are concerned. We know some of the admins are actually regulars of this subreddit (albeit on alts) and going private to shield ourselves from scrutiny isn't really necessary anymore.
Thanks for the thorough response. Glad you guys are being proactive about keeping us not only alive but active. I hope that the admins will continue to be lenient with us in the future.
I think with the slur bot we will be fine. The main gripe with this subreddit that places like AHS and SRD have is that we allowed slurs (which are gross but that was never the point).
You need to have a public list of what you're removing otherwise how will anyone know what not to post. And it isn't good for the health of the sub when you perma ban anyone who hurts your fragile ego. I don't know what the fuck you expect to happen with this retarded method of removing things without telling anyone.
I mean, I get that...but this is reddit. Reddit is supposed to be a place of serious, thoughtful, engaging conversation. Complaining about "seriousposting" seems counterproductive.
Your comment has been removed because it contained a bad word. The word was trannïês. If you intend to use this word in a purely demonstrative manner, please use the first letter of the word followed by '-word' or '-slur'. Thank you for helping us keep /r/drama safe.
Respectfully disagree, there were unfunny serious posters barely pretending to be ironic, and those were the rightoid refugees.
It devolved into them posting awful low effort repetitive memes and boring basic trolling topics like beating up on t-words and basketball Americans (joggers).
I don’t know what you mean by irony poisoning but it definitely wasn’t what got it b&, and it wasn’t the main reason for the slide in quality. Not enough cultivation by jännies either, as much as I love them.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.
Correlation does not equal causation.
CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.
You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.
Nope, still haven't.
I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.
Maybe r/drama can rebrand as r/DrAMA, a sub where people can ask questions to doctors about anything. Without pinging this sub is boring so can't be any worse
The fact that so many drama mainstays i.e Snally, barely post here is evidence this is true. Lots of rightoid agenda posts with 0 drama. I find myself making leftoid comments just to push back and it makes me sick to do so frankly.
I don't really think there is a way to fix it though. Sub is dead when it is private and just another politics meme sub when its open.
It's just too many smug contrarians who can't express their opinions in many other subs because they'll be banned or worse, downvoted. This sub seriously has far more in common with early /r/circlebroke than it would like to admit. Except there is a lot more hiding behind "But mom, I'm just being ironic, I'm actually a radical centrist 😏".
Snally doesn't post means there are too much serious posting? LMFAO wine mommy does nothing but post her middle school serious takes, when tf was she the bar for how well the subs doing? Jesus fucking Christ.
frist of all sweaty how DARE YOU. Snally is an institution. She was just the first one that came to mind.
How about the fact that users tried and failed to create a sub to contain the agenda posts /r/politicope. How about the fact that this very thread is from a mod 🤮 complaining about the rightoid agenda posts.
It's not rocket surgery the MDEfugees invade whatever sub is the most shitposty and least lefty and, ban after ban, our time has come.
you are literally incapable of doing anything on reddit but getting angry about politics and making smugposts about politics, your posts are identical to what /r/politics would be made up of if it was right-wing. you're one of those people who doesn't seem to have a personality outside of getting angry about politics and social issues online, totally one-dimensional and uninteresting. you're like a right-wing version of that poopshow guy who popped up recently, except he's at least trying to be satirical.
Yes, sir, my argument is that they came in and they're seriousposting. We could round them in a seriousposting labor camp thread but that would be too much work and drama isn't a place to do these acts that go against Allah's word.
Instead we should segregate. Bussyposters are above s*riousposters.
I’ve come back bc the serious posting and alt right agenda has gotten out of control. None of the posters here realize how serious embracing the politics of the far right truly is. It makes this sub look like it should be on AHS. I’m all for Jokes, but when you keep allowing people to post offensive things, it all becomes too much.

the rate of seriousPosting increases as the numbers of days without a fresh lawlz sticky increases. without lawlz posts one cannot truly understand how much of a waste of time it is.

To be frank, I wish you guys would decide what you do want the subreddit to be and explicitly say so, because it's clearly something other than just any drama people can find.
All of this behind the scenes reddit politics is really, really lame, and whilst most people here don't want this place to end up like Deux, it seems like a couple mods really want this place to be SRD. Past a certain point you have to stop being ironic and tell people what content you do and don't want. Of course you have to curate when the average poster has no idea what you now consider good or bad drama.
Not to mention the weird shit some of you are getting up to. I get going private, I get keeping your head down, but I don't get the weird cutthroat reddit politics a few of you are actively involved in, as that's the complete opposite of keeping your head down and is the complete opposite of the 'no tryhard agendas' policy I thought you guys wanted.

The issue isn't the type of content being posted here, it's the how/why it's being posted here.
Take Shaun King for example. He is always surrounded by drama and involving himself in situations that warrant discussion here but people don't post about the drama, they post "omg Talcum X black people are criminals" because people abuse our lax moderation style to post garbage simply to validate their shitty opinions that they can't post elsewhere.
So now we're in this weird situation where we have people posting content that is legitimate content but it's posted and framed in a derogatory way that doesn't allow actual discussion and is basically just a full post version of "lol [insert racist/phobic/slurs here]". It's not fun, constructive (as constructive as internet bullshit can be at least) and is almost impossible to moderate without just removing it wholesale.
We just don't want the sub to get banned. We have gone wayyyyy out of our way and spent a lot of time picking apart the site wide rules and messaging/emailing/haranguing the admins for clarifications about where the line between bannable and acceptable content is so that we can continue to be the only place on this site that toes that line.
Subreddits aren't isolated fiefdoms anymore, and people that moderate one subreddit probably moderate a lot of them. When you mod a lot of stuff you meet a lot of other mods and you easily get sucked into the drama and general bullshit that any group of people will inevitably create.
We used to have a blanket ban on powermods but a few mods here gradually became powermods after starting out here and they still advocate for this subreddit and it's moderation policy despite it not being popular in any sense of the word.
Also there are off-site mod chats where all the mods hang out and smell each others' farts and is a constant source of drama/discontent/garbage so it's hard to not get involved in that realm.

I completely agree, but this isn't being well communicated and it's not going to stop until the mods make it a clear, open policy. Too much irony just makes more work for you guys.
To be clear, I don't think you want this place to be SRD, and Lawlz just wants to watch his cartoons, but it does seem like different people on the mod team are pulling in very different directions sometimes.
Sorry, I was needlessly cryptic; I'm not talking about AHS, I'm talking about the lolepic takeovers of other subs.
I absolutely get keeping a low profile, and I'm hardly going to act like AHS aren't a real fucking problem, but take yiffinhell as the most recent stuff -- based on what a couple of you guys have said elsewhere, that seems to have gotten real personal, to the point that it just feels like the same shit AHS do. There's no drama left when a certain power user effectively deletes subs they don't like, and one or two mods here have very clearly supported it elsewhere. That's the opposite of content, it's just personal power plays, it just makes things worse -- draws more attention by pointlessly pissing off MDE types and if anything gives AHS more excuses.

We have no actual "moderation policy" beyond "allow whatever you possibly can" and this is a moderation playground. We all kind of do whatever we want (I do this with absolute wild abandon much to the dismay of other mods)
Mods here often do things that make no sense or do shit just for fun. It's not an SRDification of the subreddit, it's just us being drunk and stupid.
If it makes you feel better that entire debacle was basically a joke. There was no actual ill intent behind it or or some kind of conspiracy to remove content from the website. They literally did it because they thought it was funny. While I didn't read YiffinHell I did see the conversations that lead to the "takeover" and it was all just kind of a stupid "prank" and they all smelled each others' farts over being able to pull it off.
As far as Corvus goes - they are a powermod for sure but they don't have any kind of agenda or personal war with any kind of content on Reddit like AHS mods do. They're a powermod because they're active and really nice so people like to invite them to stuff. They are very active in our mod discord and I can assure you they aren't trying to undermime anything much less undermine our subreddit here.

1 MinerHornet 2020-06-27
Why did we even reopen so soon?
1 pewkiemuffinboo 2020-06-27
Bunch-o reasons we went public again so soon.
Deux getting banned created a vacuum for the type of content that we host and while we were not affiliated with them in any way it's important that there's a place on Reddit to laugh at stupid people doing stupid shit.
The content in this sub while we're private may be better but it's slooooow. We have a tonne of approved users but we only average about 200 active views while private and the majority of people do not interact with the subreddit while it's private. There are basically no comments, few posts, and when something really juicy is happening it's just not as much fun to discuss it because there isn't really anyone there to discuss it with.
Deux getting banned was alarming as they have always been the shittier version of this sub and were basically a canary in the coal mine for us but we have been reassured that we are not on any ban radar as far as the admins are concerned. We know some of the admins are actually regulars of this subreddit (albeit on alts) and going private to shield ourselves from scrutiny isn't really necessary anymore.
1 MinerHornet 2020-06-27
Thanks for the thorough response. Glad you guys are being proactive about keeping us not only alive but active. I hope that the admins will continue to be lenient with us in the future.
1 pewkiemuffinboo 2020-06-27
I think with the slur bot we will be fine. The main gripe with this subreddit that places like AHS and SRD have is that we allowed slurs (which are gross but that was never the point).

You need to have a public list of what you're removing otherwise how will anyone know what not to post. And it isn't good for the health of the sub when you perma ban anyone who hurts your fragile ego. I don't know what the fuck you expect to happen with this retarded method of removing things without telling anyone.
1 pewkiemuffinboo 2020-06-27
I did that years ago when I was a mod of SRD and it's a stupid amount of work for very little return. No one reads that and doesn't really care.
I ban anyone that displeases me and I do it unapologetically.
You are sent a mail when your post is removed by the website, it's not like we're shadow banning people.

1 ShemaleSmasher 2020-06-27
Respectfully disagree, there were unfunny serious posters barely pretending to be ironic, and those were the rightoid refugees.
It devolved into them posting awful low effort repetitive memes and boring basic trolling topics like beating up on t-words and basketball Americans (joggers).
I don’t know what you mean by irony poisoning but it definitely wasn’t what got it b&, and it wasn’t the main reason for the slide in quality. Not enough cultivation by jännies either, as much as I love them.

Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.
Correlation does not equal causation.
CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

The fact that so many drama mainstays i.e Snally, barely post here is evidence this is true. Lots of rightoid agenda posts with 0 drama. I find myself making leftoid comments just to push back and it makes me sick to do so frankly.
I don't really think there is a way to fix it though. Sub is dead when it is private and just another politics meme sub when its open.
1 DuckSosu 2020-06-27
It's just too many smug contrarians who can't express their opinions in many other subs because they'll be banned or worse, downvoted. This sub seriously has far more in common with early /r/circlebroke than it would like to admit. Except there is a lot more hiding behind "But mom, I'm just being ironic, I'm actually a radical centrist 😏".
1 snowkarl 2020-06-27
Wtf how is that evidence you dumbass
Snally doesn't post means there are too much serious posting? LMFAO wine mommy does nothing but post her middle school serious takes, when tf was she the bar for how well the subs doing? Jesus fucking Christ.
1 Babybear_Dramabear 2020-06-27
frist of all sweaty how DARE YOU. Snally is an institution. She was just the first one that came to mind.
How about the fact that users tried and failed to create a sub to contain the agenda posts /r/politicope. How about the fact that this very thread is from a mod 🤮 complaining about the rightoid agenda posts.
It's not rocket surgery the MDEfugees invade whatever sub is the most shitposty and least lefty and, ban after ban, our time has come.

you are literally incapable of doing anything on reddit but getting angry about politics and making smugposts about politics, your posts are identical to what /r/politics would be made up of if it was right-wing. you're one of those people who doesn't seem to have a personality outside of getting angry about politics and social issues online, totally one-dimensional and uninteresting. you're like a right-wing version of that poopshow guy who popped up recently, except he's at least trying to be satirical.
