Holy shit I looked around for a second, that site looks totally unusable, how the hell do people subject themselves to that much pain on the eyes?
no clue what this place is. looks like a kiwifarms type thing or some shit
In 2021, /r/drama got kicked off reddit by the admins for hate speech or something. They made that site as a replacement.
history of /r/drama
https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1drgsvx/the_controversial_subreddit_rdrama_has_been/
sounds like a great and healthy online community that isn't detrimental to the sanity of its userbase
r/drama ALWAYS gave off just like r/publicfreakout
I was surprised reddit allowed them to exist so long but it's exactly the sort of thing Eglin Airforce base would do tbh.
That was because MDEfugees (what they call people from the banned r/milliondollarextreme and related sphere) that flooded in, the sub was normal lib with an edge.
Danke danke 🫡
Nah, it was for stepping on the admins toes too many times by abusing site mechanics, I remember how it happened.
SRD and Drama used to have a big feud as that post demonstrates and over time SRD filtered out the more reactionary types while Drama didn’t but it was still not a pure chud hub.
Only mod of the Iowa sub reddit was/is still a mod of r/drama. Seeing that suddenly explained why all the other mods left or stopped moderating.
They loved to have the drama accounts be unbanned

Liberal are quite something
Dunno what they're talking about, I have a very strong in-group preference for my fellow workers over the capitalist out-group.
Oh, wait, they meant
god Slatestar Codex really fucked some people up. a language for generating pseuds.
Haha joke pronouns in 2024
muh pronouns are FUHK/U and the judge at my alimony hearing was all too willing to respect them
I just had the intrusive thought of dumb millennial chuds in a nursing home with joke pronouns on their nametags they use to remind them of their own names. I blame this comment for it
Oh lol true I didn't even realize they had "pronouns" tagged on their profiles. Lame ass nerds.
I have no clue what that means, and I'm proud. I'm proud i can't understand that
you're not missing much
i went to their main page, and it said "socialist discourse & dating" in my Firefox tab. socialist? doubt.
edit: nvm, they use the word "foid" which is short for "femoid" apparently. so definitely just assholes.
it looks like they use random 'snarky' taglines for the tab titles
We would never.
Only a reactionary would do that
yeah, we dug up the r/drama offsite lifeboat at one point like a year ago. also i'd express some caution, because i swear previous threads on it had concerns about opsec and tracking on their end
There was also some user in I forget which other instance who was trying to get a drama comm off the ground and was constantly trying to shit stir with Hexbear posts.
strong chance all the @HexbearCopium@lemdro.id related accounts are from this place
Yeah that's the one, I remember the comm being like 90% HB posts when we first federated.
I've spent an unfortunate amount of time trying to bully them into paying attention to real politics. They're honestly a bunch of nihilists who don't believe they stand for anything but mostly take center-right talking points. They know Trump can't be taken seriously, so their support for him is ironic, and the unironic Trump supporters are bullied off of the frontpage.
It's a cesspit but you can abuse the stupid (they are consistent in their application of freedom of speech as a value; that's the drama) and I made more of a difference writing about fascism there than I did on reddit. But I'm inclined to get out of the game. YMMV.

That was my experience with them back when they were still r/drama.
now this is slop
This seems to give the best description Related subreddits:
/r/AgainstHateSubreddits /r/SubredditDrama /r/YoutubeDrama /r/LeopardsAteMyFace /r/TheRightCantMeme /r/TopMindsOfReddit /r/MarchAgainstNazis /r/GamingCircleJerk /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy /r/Sino /r/Polyamory /r/TwoXChromosomes /r/Antiwork /r/SexWorkersOnly /r/Egg_IRL
it looks like they found this thread https://rdrama.net/post/322295/hexbear-found-you-guys-again
They are operating with a level of political understanding that would embarrass a donkey, though EU flag so that explains that I guess.
hey they quoted me. and my parents said i'd never do anything important.
Wait I was in all of these except r/egg_irl, were they bad?
They have posts that can be tagged effort posts and then a link to all of them. We need to do that
Lemmy needs to implement post tags first.
Slop.
