One thing no one ever mentions in this whole annoying situation was that the admins told us straight up if we all organized and got all of the mods to agree to get rid of ann that they would remove him, then after we jumped through all their hoops they basically said "jk nvm." No one conjured up this idea that we would be able to beg the admins to give us the sub, we were told that this was a new process and we were basically lied to.

Copying the SRD post:
In an interesting development, the mods of /r/drama have attempted a coup against their own top mod (AnnArchist) , but were rejected by the admins
This lead to one of the mods posting a thread entitled "Admins of this site don't give a fricking shit about this site."- http://redd.it/6nez3e
Another user, XxXBussy69SlayerXxX, posts a follow up thread almost instantly- "Is /u/TwasIWhoShotJR attempting a "coo" of /r/drama? /u/delethotheads thinks so."- http://redd.it/6nf79a. Archived here.
Within 5 minutes, the subreddit was made private- http://i.imgur.com/LaC10nA.png
Updates are sure to follow, and I will continue to include them here where relevant.
Update 1: /r/drama has reopened, with only the former head mod still on the most list.
Update 2: 3 new mods have been added in the past 15-20 minutes, and the subreddit is still open.
Update 3: All original mods are back on the /r/drama modlist, it seems we were bamboozled.
Update 4: It seems the reddit admins have stripped AnnArchist of his perms and, themselves, added all of the former mods back. May be a bit of admin trolling going on here in coordination with the drama mods, will keep updating I guess as it may not be a bamboozle after all.
Update 5:
To the best of my understanding this is what happened up until now; the top mod of /r/drama, AnnArchist, had added some new mods as a joke recently which upset other members of the /r/drama modteam as there was doxx in the modmail. The lower ranked /r/drama mods made an appeal to the admins to have their own top mod removed as a result of that behavior and their feeling that AnnArchist was, in general, an absentee top mod. The admins denied their request this morning on the grounds that AnnArachist was actively moderating the subreddit.
Directly after that, the mods who failed to have AnnArchist removed made the subeddit private and began defacing/deleting content (with the intent of purging the entire subreddit). At that point, everyone under AnnArchist was removed from the mod list, new mods were added, and a thread for new moderator nominations was posted.
Within 1 hour, the admins took the unusual step of removing the perms of the top moderator (along with the second top moderator) and reinstated the mod team to what it was this morning.
Apparently, one admin felt that AnnArchist removing the other moderators after they began defacing the subreddit was a form of retaliation for the original request to the admins to have the top moderator removed. As of now, the mods of /r/drama (split into two factions; their top mod, AnnArchist, vs everyone else on the mod list) are in discussions with the admins regarding the situation and a potential resolution. Will update as it becomes more clear.
Update 6: In a strange turn of events, AnnArchist has now had their permissions restored while the second top mod (on both of his accounts) still remains with no permissions. This seems to indicate the admins have handed the subreddit back to AnnArchist.

I was still pretty new then, but that day is seared into my memory forever. I go to rdrama and instead of all the entertaining and informative content I've come to expect, it's totally shut down. Except that there's a few grim-faced mid-level jannies reading out a statement that they call "General Order Number 1 of the Revolutionary Command Council". It was that and then a lot of military marching songs played in a loop.
In hindsight it's pretty funny that /u/chtorrr of all people intervened to save /r/drama. I had no idea who this person was until placegate.

With new reportmaxxing opportunities available now, you’d probably have a better shot at banning /u/AnnArchist than cryposting to the admins. That guy was always kind of a cute twink though.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
He was cooler than the other jannies though, literally all of them were massive cute twinks who brought nothing positive to /r/drama. He should have purged them and replaced em with randoms tbh, would have been hilarious.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I don't think that's true. Joan, JustCool, Snally, ComedicSans and others helped grow /r/drama enormously from what I've heard, and added their own flavours/styles to /r/drama while AnnArchist did little (or very little) in comparison.
However
@AnnArchist has a redeeming feature which I adore: She (he?) was anti-censorship, super non-partisan (at least in action) and generally hands off. Those aren't attributes you can usually ascribe to a janny. Maybe the others had these qualities too, but we know for sure that Ann did. And she picked decent jannies to MAKE /r/drama what it was, which in turn ultimately resulted in rdrama.net. Ultimately, /r/drama turned out quite well, and that's because there was someone at the top who WASN'T messing things up.
AFAIK, she didn't even try to boot the jannies after the attempted takeover was over?

No email address required.
I was there way back since golden age SRD. All of the people you mentioned, even snally, were all massive cute twinks who treated the place like their friend simulator like all the other pathetic reddit janitors they make fun of. They sincerely didn't do much back then, it's not like this site where the jannies actually bring new content and features regularly. Their main concern was not getting banned by the admins, which only resulted in /r/drama ending up in it's current pathetic state. Their biggest contribution was creating a dumb poweruser culture where nolife attention seekers made a significant portion of the content which was neither dramatic nor funny. They'd always seethe about "agendaposting" but agendaposting was responsible for some of the sub's best posts and comments, while powerusers brought their boring little irc/groomercord spats that no one could relate to.

Don't you dare insult Lawlz like that.
Perhaps there's some truth to that, and that's why I said Ann was super non-partisan / hands-off. Can't be sure the other jannies weren't though as such posts weren't usually censored.

Lawlz was perhaps the prime example of what I was talking about. He was a sometimes funny commenter who had one of the greatest moments in /r/drama history, but the posts centered around him were extremely gay and not very interesting.

They literally said to us in a voice call that they'd just replace the mod team with ones that would enforce the rules if we didn't comply, which meant powerjannies who cry about people using the word "crazy"
They essentially refused to ban the subreddit because I guess some admins were casual readers. If we'd essentially let the sub die like that, rdrama.net wouldn't exist

Yeah that was the thing we didn't want because we all knew that the second all of us were y'alled from the mod team it was be Bard or another terminally online weirdo who would essentially perform a takeover and nuking of the sub.

Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
this was before zoom was a thing, this was back in like 2018 or 2019 or something. we talked in a private groomercord channel. we had two voice calls (with red and sody) and i kinda forgot what we talked about. i know at least one of the mods that was talking was audibly wasted lol
at some point they kinda just gave up communicating in any appreciable fashion though to, from what I've heard, pretty much every mod team, not just us.
and we could kinda tell that it's a lot more one sided now.
there were 2 voice calls we had, and we joked about them being our handlers.
they didn't mention which admins, but we know there's at least one from when they gave an 80 day ban award to
@pizzashill and i got the impression that red and sody occasionally read the sub too

Haha, that's a bit pathetic, but it's one thing to be partisan about the occasional mainstream news story being posted. It's quite another to control the conversation itself and censor (or ban) users because they don't fit the janny's favourite viewpoints. Anyway, noted!
Maybe. Ann still picked the mods in the first place though. And he/she could have still very subtly fired one or two of his least favourites off after a couple of months had passed and blamed it on other made up things.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
To be fair to Ann though, like a few faux pas or partisan things in like 10 years of the sub isn't bad and we all made up afterward. We're all human after all lol
He essentially did that by not giving back the permissions admins took away from Jr.
Story goes is that Ann had the sub name for a while (via RR), then Jr got exiled from SRD (he was an SRD mod) when they added the no personal attacks rule (yeah you used to be able to do that) and so he asked Ann to be added to /r/Drama and from there created that community. While technically the sub is older than SRD, it was basically full of spam beforehand
