/r/drama never rly moved to Ruqqus despite us trying to get them to. A fragment of Deux did, and the shoah of deux was the impetus, but that’s about it.

It is not my job to educate you sweaty

Also history has a white supremacist bias thus it is not realiable and should NOT be studied to avoid being influenced by bigoted ideas. Also studying is ableist per se as it excludes non able-conforming individuals who are not able, for example, to read.

So here's what I remember

-Deuxrama and similar subs started to get banned. These were kind of containment subs for our more MDE type users. Ruqqus then became the next plan of action but posting about moving to ruqqus on reddit is a no no so that didn't help our case. Also most did not want to move offsite at this point, especially with whatever the frick that was going on there at the time

-LoveforX subs began popping up all over the place after the success of LLMs early ones. Problem is these were made by idiots with either new accounts with Terminator1488 as the username or accounts that could be easily be linked back to /r/drama

-Large "non woke" subs that acted as a kind of shield began to fall. That and /r/AgainstHateCommunities directly antagonizing AHS and Bardfinn gave us more attention from the terminally online

-The mods historically were friendly with a few of the less insane admins, which is why the sub even survived the pinging fiasco years ago along with other things that most subs couldn't get away with. But that seemed to have waned. Probably has to do with the above, along with other things like the /r/teenagers outing, that /r/drama became pretty much indefensible at this point

-Reddit begins cracking down hard on "punching down", but mostly just the unspoken rule of don't criticize the transgenders. Certain words being unmoderated for more than 1 microsecond also became ammo for AHS types to get a sub banned. This is where the r-/n-/f-slur and eventually train/basketball/cutetwink stuff came from: to show how ridiculous these rules were. Eventually it got to the point where you really couldn't win and the mods that were left went emoji only

Luckily Aevann and Carp, although dirty ruqqucels, made this site a couple months before the subreddit effectively died. Some of us saw the link before they blacklisted the url from reddit and cared enough to give it a try, but many didn't make it over or post extremely infrequently. It's kind of a different community at this point, but I think it's one of the only successful transitions from reddit to offsite without dying or going full extreme, which is quite the accomplishment and hopefully is just the beginning of reddit itself dying

I am a ruqqoid veteran of the rDrama infestation. Don't ask me anything though I can't remember jack shit, not because of PTSD, I just have a real shit memory.

I miss Itspeeg's pinball cab posts

The move to ruqqus is also linked with the shoah of deuxrama, zweirama, dosrama, and dtama
