Thank you to everyone that helped create this beautiful and amazing piece of creative d'art. I am astonished at what people can do when they put their heads together.

I know I said that there would be a dramacoin prize but I'm actually going to be taking a pre-determined amount of dramacoin away from everyone that contributed to the contest as reparations for wasting my time. indigenous peoples day.

Thank you everyone and great job!

Thats what you get for misleading the rdrama population with undelivered promises of dramacoin.

They give us two shoutouts in the updated article too lmao

I have news. Someone went to the courthouse in Dallas and got all of the divorce papers and I received them in the post. Someone spent a lot of money to do that. I am figuring out how best to get the paper copies online. I don't know whether it's cheaper to buy a scanner or take them to be scanned. It might be more cost effective to just buy a scanner.

Yes...I've read them. His wife alleges years of abuse of her and the kids. She wanted sole custody and for him to agree to not take drugs or drink for sufficient hours before visitation and wanted that visitation supervised by others. She did not get that. There seems to be many attempts to get him to pay child maintenance. There are even arrest warrants, because Steven could not be arsed to come to court at all...but they seem to get canceled. One of the appearances has a note on the bottom that Steven is to present evidence of progress in getting Social Security Disability. I'm not sure if the papers say that Texas is entirely going to fail to pursue child maintenance from Steven, in the end or if it is simply a continuance of events.

My professional opinion: lol

lmao I know this is one of you, but I want this to be his wife so badly

EDIT: link to bardfinn's divorce docs

I thought these losers said if we don’t like the rules to make our own website so perhaps they can start by not trying to call everything a hate sub and get them banned for stupid shit like misgendering

About halfway down through the screenshots, you get to the meat of what they're doing:

They're upset about the r/NoNewNormal quarantine and they're going to shutter half the default subs tomorrow in protest! Isn't that cool? Powerjannies are doing unpaid labor in favor of bringing Reddit back to its roots of letting people disc... Oh wait lol no, they're mad that NNN was only quarantined and not banned outright, so they're shuttering everything to protest to get it banned so people can't discuss the downsides of compulsory experimental gene therapy on children.

Note how the unpaid internet janitor with the liberal arts AA from xir local community college talks about "playing to their psychology." These are the people dictating the direction of what words a multibillion dollar corporation allows people to use on a cute twinkgy orange messageboard. Undersocialized, uneducated r-slurs who think they're smarter than you but they can't even keep their shitty Discord server secure.

Isn't that funny?
I think it's pretty funny!

And hey, if you're visiting here from another site (our URL is blocked by Reddit, so good job whoever got you here!), maybe stick around and visit some of our other fun threads. We have lots of great features, wholly unique to this platform, and we'd love to have you with us

I love you.

Update: Here’s the message they intend to send to the (paid) janitors:

(click to expand if you’re new)

edit D-DAY T-5:30: they’ve now restricted heaps of channels in their cord and are going a bit nuts trying to find out who the “leaker” is. Will this delay today’s scheduled imaginary powertrip? I don’t think so, personally. They’d need to find something else to do midday Wednesday if they did.

I've been browsing this place while working as a field tech for elementary schools. Today I found out that rdrama.net got blocked on the school wifi. In order to use the school wifi I login with my work credentials. Which means that someone above me saw traffic for rdrama, saw it was coming from an employee, and most likely took a look in here and thought "yeah no one should be browsing this around 8 year olds"

Awaiting my termination, dramanauts.

Now that reddit and twitter have mostly totally banned rightoids from their platforms and the few rightoids left on either are on their best behavior at all times it's easy to post nothing but insane leftoid seethe, cope, and insanity, which is a trap that could lead users down a spiral of thinking only leftoids seethe and cope and from there into becoming an unironic rightoid agendaposter.

For the good of your fellow dramanauts, it's imperative that you go to the shitholes that rightoids have escaped to like patriots.win or gab or even poal and talk.lol to find the completely insane things nazis are saying right now.

I'm doing my part - are you?

Wow, pretty rude. Does this mean it's ok for me to read misinformation since she wants me to die from COVID? So hostile tsk tsk.

Wew. A whole mess of screens to share today. They've devolved from trying to literally save lives by temporarily shutting down orange messageboards to 100% just fighting amongst each other about how-dare-you-delete-my-message-I'm-a-moderator-too and reeeee leakers leakers leakers and it's a disjointed shitshow. I don't even know how to format this post. It was impossible to parse even close to everything. It's all so bad and I'm tempted just to export the whole chat to our db again so I don't have to keep making these posts. I almost feel bad for them at this point.

Recent highlights:

Belle actually left!

The first bit of mop-on-mop action

Janitors discuss whether or not closing messageboards until administrators ban people is the same thing as marching for civil rights. Consensus is not reached.

Assorted seethe (of thousands of messages) about damned dirty leakers, in no particular order -

Spaceshit nerd speaks sense -

They are considering throwing in the towel. Allegedly.

Everyone's favorite SRDine conalfisher continues to be the lone voice of reason -

But then immediately signs his own fatwa

Seb is still planning to re-close subs on Monday. Will anyone go along with it? Does anyone still care?

I DMed this to Seb last night

along with proven access to his private super-verified channels

and he asked me at length to please at least censor usernames. I tried to, but it looks like I censored the timestamps instead. Sorry!

edit 1AUG21: If you’re here from Pewkie’s new sticky, that’s great! Thanks! This is a bit outdated, it’s all still there but we’ve since added a ton of new stuff as well. Figure it out. Or ask.

You may also notice flies swarming this thread - some Clever Trevor hit this post with the Shitpost award. It’s among many fun little things you’ll be able to buy with dramacoin (karma - not real money) in the near future. We’re still building that shop. It should be live by next weekend. Sorry about the flies.

Hi! Thanks for coming! Here's a brief rundown of useful and/or fun stuff you can do to get acclimated to your new safe space

1. Username and flair customization - Update your display name at any time. Your original name is always reserved by you, so there's no need to worry about someone jacking it while you go around as Cockmelter3000 or whatever for a few days. You can also choose the color of your flair and name. Flairs also allow for our robust (and growing) custom emojis. That's so cool, wow.

2. Profile pictures and banners, animations welcome + encouraged - Self-explanatory, this one. We're all old and terminally online, and we miss OG forums a lot. While signatures aren't really feasibly useful with the current stack, we'd like to at least somewhat revive the feel of the internet of yesteryear. Reddit is a massive site, but virtually everyone is an interchangeable and easily forgotten username. With prominent and lively avatars and the like, we're hoping to get back to the e-communal spirit of days gone by.

3. Themes! - Set one of the default themes that you like best and completely change the way the site looks. These were just launched yesterday (3JUL21) so the options are limited to six right now, but more are coming, and with much more variety. Coffee and TronPurple are my favorites at present. BLM, Pride, Furry and some garish pastel with Comic Sans are coming soon. Or soon-ish. Or down the line. Who knows.

4. Emojis - touching back on the desire to revive the oldschool forum feel, we've integrated a little over 300 custom emojis including Marsey, platy, Taytay and a few hundred ancient early-mid 00s ezboard emojis I stole. You can enter them manually with traditional markup (i.e. surround the name of the emoji with colons), or use that slick emoji picker smiley face icon beneath the text entry field.

5. Tenor integration - Click the GIF button and enter a search query, then click the picture you want. Type fewer words than ever before and express yourself with imagery produced by someone else for another purpose entirely. Simple. Elegant. Beautiful.

6. Rules - Oh no, rules No but really, just don't post anything illegal (in the US), creepy libertarian shit, or doxxing (within reason) and you'll be fine. That's pretty much all it says. That, and we reserve the right to remove garbage posts that aren't funny, tedious agendaposts, mdefugees, things that we think removing will elicit a reaction from you, etc.

7. Bots - All the simplistic python scripts you know and love and feel an affinity with from r/drama are hardcoded directly into the site, so you can always be surrounded by the illusions of old friends. Snappy is here (and uncastrated), you will be zozzed at some point, even longpostbot is here to shame you for typing too much.

8. DMs - Slide on into someone's DMs with a dick pic or threats to post bussy or face dire consequences. It's easy, just click their username and smash that Message button.

9. Followers - Become a dramaverse influencer by accumulating as many followers as you can. They'll be notified when you make a new post, and you might even land a coveted spot on the Leaderboard so everyone can see that you've finally made it in life. Try it on my profile. Right now. I will unironically ban you if you don't. Hurry.

10. Leaderboards - Keep track of who the most hip and happening autists are. Realtime postcount, dramacoin and follower high scores. Someone said something you don't like? See if they're on one of these and mock the shit out of them for it.

11. Visible voters - Click the three little dots on any thread or comment and then click Votes. Find out who downvoted your hilarious commentary on a Twitter thread no one bothered to read and call that snake out. You can also just quickly view Up/Down totals by clicking the number displayed by the votes, so like +58/-2 or whatever. This is such a long post and I'm really running out of steam here.

12. Two-factor authentication - Temporarily quell, or at least turn the volume down on the paranoid chittering inside your head by enabling 2FA to protect your precious homosexual pink dating site account even further. Very cool!

13. Saved posts/comments - You know what this is from Reddit, I'm not explaining it here. Three dots by a post. Click it, then click save. You can access your saved content from your profile.

14. Our very own Android app! - I can't vouch for the quality of this since I'm not poor and thus have a real phone (iOS app coming soon), and it was also just launched yesterday (3JUL21), but our very own Krc very nicely put together a native app for the povertycels out there. This is an official product and can safely be used without any more fear than comes with using the website in the first place. What are the features? What is coming to it in the future? I have no idea, but I bet it's nice.

15. @Aevann develops pretty much everything for this site and he does really amazing and impossibly fast work. There are a lot more features coming soon. Like later today, we should have the option to embed music on our profiles so you can pretend you're back on MySpace. I don't care if you don't want this, I do, so don't bother complaining. There's a lot more in the pipeline, and requests/suggestions are always welcome and will definitely be actioned if they're both good and not too much of a pain in the ass. They don't even actually have to be good I guess, let's try to keep things on-brand.

UPDATE: Profile songs are now live and I am SO HAPPY. At present, you’ll only hear them on desktop though. NOW MOBILE-FRIENDLY

Anyway that's all, thanks again for coming. If you don't like something, that's fine - tell us what you don't like and why you don't like it. If you have a suggestion to make it likeable, definitely include that too. "It's shit" is fine and good feedback, but it's not useful feedback. We'd like it to not be shit though, so telling us why it's shit is beneficial to everyone.

And one final note, since I've seen this mentioned a few times: No, this will not turn into some edgelord mdefugee shithole. This isn't Voat or Ruqqus or whatever, this will always be what r/drama once was. That won't change.

xoxo Carp 💋

Great work dramatards you did it again.

Reddit banned a community that sought to collect "bounties" on people seeking abortions in Texas.

The r/TXBountyHunters community was "dedicated to sharing tips on identifying, reporting, and collecting bounty on those breaking Texas law TX SB8," according to its description, and had 68 members.

On Reddit, snitches called themselves "bounty hunters," and sought out ways to make money off of other people's vulnerability under the law.

Twitter rube who took the bait and is the source for the article.

r/parlerwatch post

There’s actually quite a few comments from him in that post dunking on Reddit and u/spez.

It looks like the r/iAma j-slurs are working overtime tonight, so here is the removed comments for the post

edit: small fun update here, big ones down below the original text

— — —

Very abridged highlights reel, more to follow. Powerlessjannies went predictably berserk and have continued throughout the night. These were some of my favorites.

If you’re just tuning in to this horrifically depressing saga, I’d recommend starting with their initial plans to “play to users’ psychology” and close half the site until Reddit does what they want and the next-day admin response to their cries.

Key takeaways:

• Belle’s “I’m leaving forever and I really mean it this time” meant exactly as much as it did the first 747382828 times she said it. She is still hideously ugly, for anyone keeping score.

• Mr. Davis: no, rdrama.net was not down. You’re just bad with computers.

• Mr. Mega: there were no new screenshots because we were building dramatic tension and letting the admin response simmer for the evening before posting this one. You weren't hidden. I'm sorry.

• They considered going against the chadmins and closing everything immediately because “lives are at stake,” but handwringing from BelleAriel & Co. about losing their incredibly important internet moderator positions made them come to their senses.

• They intend to cry to more dead media outlets and get them to screech that Reddit is LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE if their impotent demands aren’t met.

• They’re actively watching us 🤗 I know you guys run in different - and yet equally embarrassing - circles, but I’d recommend reading this thread and this one too, if you’d like some things to be mad at Reddit for that actually matter. Please stop enabling child abuse and womanbeating. It’s not cute.

Anyway thanks for all the content, I’ll continue scrolling later. Stop banning innocent people to stop the “leaks” - it’s not doing anything lol

Update 1: They‘re planning to mass tweet at Reddit advertisers on Monday lmao

Update 2: New plan is to - oh my god - write to their congressmen. Using a Reddit bot.

Update 3: Not a development, but definitely my favorite quote of this whole affair so far.

Update 4: This update is a few pieces long. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

First we have the beginnings of a very long discussion about unionizing. An unpaid internet janitor union with negative value whose replacements can be easily automated or done by literally any shut-in.

Our boy conalfisher is once again the voice of reason though. Join us here conal!

Merari (lmao) has unironically declared j-slur to be a transphobic slur. You cannot make this shit up.

Seb (I think he's meant to be the leader of this shitshow?) has directly linked the main image of this thread He's not happy!

He's demanded that everyone in that screenshot change their Discord display name so as not to reflect their Reddit identity which they think will allow them to operate anoynmously, since they have realized the futility of trying to stop the "leaks". Let's see how that goes for them.

Update 5: Seb thinks he figured out the leak issue! I will refrain from updating for a few hours. Is this because you got me Seb? Or am I playing along?

A quick skim shows roughly 70-100 of this same post, before finally getting bored and going back to r/facepalm and r/ParlerWatch.

SRDine 🤮🤮🤮 thread

ADHD affects us all differently. For some, like you, it’s probably a mild inconvenience. For others, it’s a complete breakdown of executive function and induces irreconcilable anxiety. Try some empathy?

I had never heard 'executive dysfunction' and now it's fucking everywhere

I've been trying. But as I've said in other comments, it's VERY difficult to find the energy and motivation to clean a room I hate living in. My entire living situation is emotionally exhausting. 40 hours of high stress work, with my family constantly disregarding my name and pronouns on purpose. And then they have the nerve to say shit like "well you're expecting US to make this big change, the least you can do is make it worth our while"

I clean up after my wife (33) all the time! If you're able to get out of that environment I think it'd be a healthy move. Best of luck babe. 💙💜❤️

“Real girls don’t have messy rooms” allow me to introduce myself

This entire thread is like a massive L convention.

If anything in this is relatable to anyone, clean your fucking room. Dad's orders 🤣

I genuinely didn't expect it to cause that much outrage lol. There are now over 500 comments. I just figured they would be confused and/or just call me an idiot but no, the response was wayyyyyyy more vitriolic than that.

Even on my dumbest, most inane r/drama shitpost, I don't ever remember the comments being that angry. And like...why? Yeah it was stupid but holy shit it was NOT worth getting that upset over lmao.

I predicted this a long time ago but even I didn't see how right I truly was: https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/iz7hfk/ive_been_accused_of_being_a_traitor_for_also/?sort=controversial
