Yeah. Tbh a lot of the initial stuff we did was basically handed down from the admins but the community team wanted their cake and ate it too, and we weren't going to nuke the community over the ability to tell each other to kill themselves while we were on reddit. It was first like "don't ping people to tell them to kill themselves" and then "don't ping people to incite harassment" and then "we're adding code into reddit itself to stop you from pinging people."
The demands over time became more ridiculous like the "you can't say to exterminate white people in the sidebar images" thing or whatever. It took a while but @Aevann, @Joan_Wayne_Gacy and others did help get the site set up, which yeah... that helped the community a lot. Props to them for that
I don't know of any prominent users who got banned for saying a specific word and mentioned that to us, but at a time we were like "well the slur thing is untenable" and humorously required people to use the first letter and "-slur" instead for them (+ some other things like "foid"), something /r/ShitRedditSays requires if I recall correctly 🤷🏻♀️
Part of the problem in trying to find old moderators/regulars screencaps of ban messages is that a lot of them are banned, so you can't just go through their post history.
Yeah the admins had removed a comment and we were like "hey could you reinstate it this is obviously a joke" and they told us to screw off. Fun fact: I think we somehow found out that that admin who responded there was Aimee Chancellor even though they hid their name in the modmail
They sometimes send us "please stop doing this" PMs which is hilarious when half the time they don't even bother linking the thing that was an issue for them and then go off on some vague "culture of harassment" nonsense, which is slightly annoying the first 30 times.

I unironically use drama slur filter irl because i like turning politically safe terms into slurs. BIPOC is one of the funniest words ever invented, and by God ill use it as a slur every darn time.

edit: He’s just commented this thread with an ALPHA account
I haven't talked about it in the more "mainstream" parts of the internet, but there's an episode where Jesse says that the Blocked and Reported stans need to be more unhinged, and Katie says "well, there was that one time that someone sent mail to our home addresses, which I thought was hilarious" and Jesse says "I wasn't going to mention that, because that might encourage the crazies out there."
I'm sorry to report that it wasn't just any mail. It was a 4 page single spaced musing on the definition of doxxing and a complaint about the lack of a consistent moral position for or against it in various circumstances. Pure autism, in other words.
ok explain twitter to me. you have hundreds of followers and then you write something and it gets 0 interaction and but you still keep tweeting nonetheless.
The main thing about Twitter is that you need an account if you want to respond to something someone else says, and that if you continuously interact with stuff the algorithm learns that you want those things. I've trained mine to give me two things: journos getting into drama, and neurodivergents navelgazing.
Writing stuff that gets 0 interaction is less central than training an algorithm. Also, it's easier to train the algorithm to bring Twitter drama than it is to cultivate a subreddit of likeminded individuals who trawl the entire internet and post it there, until you get banned by reddit and move off-site.
And, not only do I keep tweeting stuff that nobody reads, but I also have a bunch of longposts in text files on my computer that FOR SURE nobody will ever read, 2 blogs that nobody will ever read, a half-finished fantasy book that nobody will ever read, a reddit account pooping out posts nobody will ever read, etc etc.

Yes. They also used to refer to short term option plays as "cute twink delights" (because they were a delightful invitation to get fricked in the butt) and the admins jannied that phrase up too.

Let me tell you this-- rDrama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and G*mergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslamping lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that rdrama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.

Sure, I think some parts are related, like an influx of people with zero sense of irony and that the bridge between pings and emojiposting was banning sub links (including self-referential ones).

There is zero chance I'm reading that after seeing /r/drama in the first paragraph. Posts about /r/drama are always this long and always a huge waste of time. What a horrible, horrible subreddit. That one and all the related ones. I hate those morons. Just the worst people on the internet.
No sexualizing minors, even as a joke. This includes cartoons.
No doxxing.
Using alts to game dramacoin will get you banned.
If you post screenshots of reddit, twitter, or rdrama content, make sure to also include links (unless the content has been jannied).
Supporting free speech is an immediate ban.
Absolutely NO anti-CCP sentiment.
Absolutely NO homophobia, transphobia or furphobia.
Absolutely NO misgendering.
Absolutely NO antisemitism.
Absolutely NO vaccine misinformation.
You are encouraged to post drama you are involved in.
You are encouraged to brigade in bad faith.
You are encouraged to gaslight, to gatekeep, above all else, to girlboss.
You are encouraged to egg people on to transition or otherwise make drastic life changes.
This site is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever (MODS = GODS)
