The magnitude of convoluted inside jokes has become ridiculous. More and more of the posts / comments here are self-referential reddit-isms few understand. We should crack down on reddit behavior through bullying and banning - starting with the permanent ban of @Soren and @schizocel for spamming the site with elaborate nonsense no one cares about

@JoeBiden was (nearly) permanently banned for far less. He has an neurodivergent infatuation with an anime girl. Even though he would make worthless spam posts over it, his obsession was simple and heavy into the spectrum. Should he have been banned? Yeah sure, he wasn't exactly contributing.

@Soren and @schizocel however have plagued this site with an increasingly intricate inside joke that the majority of users do not understand, and would certainly be opaque to all would-be users. What was the worst that @JoeBiden's anime spam done for us? Single images that are easily ignored with comment sections spitting it straight and blunt. Even if you have no interest in Cirno (I'm sure almost none of us do), this gimmick is clear on its face, and the comment sections equally as readable with half the people saying "keep yourself safe p-do". It invokes ire from some users, but ultimately does not dramatically change how users speak. I would assume it would have an inconsequential effect on how many people visit and stay on this site, considering it was always contained in singular topical image posts.

Entire comment sections have been spawned due to users trying to "get in" on the Soren / schizocel joke, propagating it, and creating this baffling style of posting that is completely impenetrable to anyone who isn't at the center of it all. It isn't easily dismissed, because unlike @JoeBiden's mundane image posting, this is not contained within individual posts. It's everywhere, even in comment sections of posts that are completely unrelated because of this reddit-y desire to obnoxiously prove you are "part of the group". There are people PRETENDING to know what the Soren / schizocel joke is and playing along because it has become that central to the site.

People have been saying it for months that reddit-y behavior is becoming apparent now, but I believed it wasn't that serious until now; it is beginning to contaminate more corners of this site and cannot be handwaived anymore. Beyond the inside jokes, what happens in groomercord is becoming more important that what is on rDrama. The back-and-forths are not necessarily the problem, it's that all communication is not done here, but in a myriad of exclusive private groomercord servers formed by tight knit fart-huffing cliques. No one should have get into private groomercords in order to understand what the heck is going on.

When visitors come to the site, what will they see? @schizocel's untranslatable annoying garbage on the front page. Power users posting leaks from their private friends club that you will never join or have an opportunity to join. Absurd volume of self-referential humor in the comments. How is this attractive to anyone? There is less of seeking out drama, and more of this insular clique of close friends that recursively eats itself, shits it out, and calls it "drama".

Why does @JoeBiden get actioned when @Soren and @schizocel get a 100% pass on far worse - low quality content that actually harms the user experience?

Every user here should make an effort of unironically telling these people to kill themselves and frick off, until they are banned or their accounts are deleted and their names scrubbed. This is incredibly annoying.
