All good. Something else that might warrant a mention is supreme faggot Wil Wheaton (who also has a thread on here) turning up to lecture r/drama in a thread dedicated to him crying over his lego figurine being depicted as a whiny bitch. He was universally shat on and it went pretty viral, I remember it being linked on all the drama and Star Trek subreddits.

Official QuadNarca ban thread - Drama
I threw 2 bans onto @quadnarca and @suprememe did 1. If you have a ban award laying around feel free to use it to ban @quadnarca imagine if the community could get together and ban quad for 7 days how awesome that would be https://youtu.be/EJ72bYyEtBg

Yeah, this is a key point imo. Not seething / srsposting is a core part of the identity, and it helps inoculate the community from just being a bunch of angry Redditors spouting /pol/-tier rhetoric (carp's writeup on what happened to Ruqqus is a useful resource here.) Yeah, there's a lot of agendaposting but you can't be too shameless about it. The site doesn't need "red lines", if you come there to seethe or take yourself too seriously you'll get banned and you'll eventually figure things out if you come again on a new account.
Whether the community is able to maintain this cohesiveness will depend on the continued interest and investment from competent admins, similar to KF.

Speaking personally: I found drama.net because it was mentioned here, probably on the reddit general thread. I found Kiwifarms because of the Aimee Challenor situation at reddit. Kiwifarms is mostly invaluable for its contributions to featuring and highlighting people I consider to be internet predators, like Challenor, Bardfinn, Drewiepoodle and others not as obvious. These three happened to have operated on reddit. Kiwifarms, however, has been a wealth of information about predators of all kinds on various platforms.
The drama.net group is a community made up of people who posted on reddit. I don't think it's right wing, left wing, straight or gay. It seems to be composed of a number of people not necessarily from banned subs, even. I believe that many of the drama.net users are still on reddit either under alts or even on other accounts with some of them very possibly being power mods. One thing that MaryTylerMeltdown did not mention is that drama.net was leaking power moderator private chats during the most recent reddit protest.
The protests was allegedly over Covid misinformation, but the leaked chats are hilarious reading...watching these various power moderators tripping over themselves to not admit that their protest was political in nature was interesting. Some of them were very angry at the Challenor protest and the infighting and ineptitude was was on full display.
The reason for the focus on Bardfinn is mostly, I believe, due to the fact that Bardfinn was very instrumental in getting the reddit administrators to crack down on the drama subreddit. At one point Bardfinn came to the subreddit seemingly wanting to be a part of the group, but they really wanted nothing to do with him. This was before the knowledge of his full history of partner abuse, non payment of child maintenance and history of pathological lying was known. Reddit continues to seem to protect and cater to him, so drama.net finds him dramatic.
I was fully informed that Kiwifarms was a hive of nefarious abusers who destroyed lives before I began reading here. It's only reading here that made me realize that these people featured, who claim that Kiwifarms ruined their lives. are mostly all still very active on social media under the very personas that are featured here. This isn't really a place where one comes to make friends or forge relationships. It's a place to find out the things that are sometimes censored and not allowed to be revealed in other places where these predators are present and protected.
It is an invaluable trove of information about the people who are too often given the social media spotlight and who do not in any way deserve it. Drama.net, on the other hand, is a group of diverse reddit posters who liked drama. They made a community there. As they made their community, the entire nature of reddit changed. It changed from a place where many different users with different interests could have fun and discuss things and have a laugh to a place where politics were weaponized, some subreddits suffered sanctions or closure whilst others who committed similar offences were tolerated and everything became completely stifled, serious and simply not fun nor funny.
They have a healthy hatred for "journalists" and have literally made idiots of many journalists or twitter bluechecks left and right who fall for the most ridiculous bait. Their point, it seems, is to show how modern society has become fake, stifling and rigidly politically correct at the hands of people who do not deserve to have the power to make it that way. Your social media janitors are real life clowns and sometimes criminals, drug addicts and/or pedo groomers.
They are simply putting a magnifying glass over the absurdity of all of this and having a laugh with each other at the same time.

Rdrama is good and consists of the only funny posters on reddit, sweaty.

I included a portion about the covid blackout. Also, it is no secret that a couple of the admins of rdrama are also power mods on reddit, though they are not seemingly that active on either site at all. I think they were grandfathered in since they were mods of r/drama.

Well, one of them was leaking private powermod chats to drama.net as a protest was being organized and infuriating the organizers of the protest, so I wouldn't assume that they aren't active on either site.

Yes, I do realize that. I just happen to be too slow for nonchalant non-sequiturs a-la /r/drama, where it's just "le joke" after "le joke" and "funny" nonsensical animations and hilarious reddit-tier jokes.
4chan of '06-'08 was completely different from /r/drama, so it's kinda funny to see them justifying their rеtardation (unfunny and unironic) by attaching themselves to something greater than they are. They're SA/SASS more like.

4chinz wasn't a stagnant pool and the memes were funny. /r/drama is mostly the same circle of users and the jokes are derivative of the derivative.

I agree with most of your post except that. The memes were random, not necessarily funny. Le funni randumb was the zeitgeist sure, but looking back it was pretty cringey.

Of course, most of the stuff 4chan has created has faded into obscurity. That's the way of things. But current Internet culture at this point is partially based on 4chan's output and whenever I visit communities like /r/drama, it just feels like I'm drinking filtered out moose piss to get high.

Some more of the commentary on the commentary to the commentary is in (archive)
There's a bussy schism on whether OP is too obsessed with the bussy or there should be more bussy press 1 for more bussy
As a Kiwicel it is true we hold a legally defensible monopoly on Based™ internet drama
And credit where it's due they've got some good bantz

They don't seem to compare themselves to 4chan often. They know that they are r/drama. The r/drama of long ago before the reddit administrators neutered it gradually. The original post here says that the subreddit is shut down, but it is not. Reddit sanctions on r/drama did not come all at once. There are many meta communities on reddit that discuss content in other communities. Redditors used to be able to "at" or "ping" reddit users. So if there was a lolcow on another subreddit the drama users would sometimes ping them to r/drama. Reddit now seems to frown upon pinging other users at all, but r/drama was instructed by the admins to stop it. They complied. As communities were banned from reddit, sometimes the users would show up at r/drama. The moderators were proactive to ensure that "radical centrism" would continue to be r/drama's ethos. This is not to say that every user of r/drama was an actual centrist, but they did not want to be ruled by extremist content from the left or the right.
drama.net jokes that it is an offshoot of r/subredditdrama, but in fact most of the drama users consider subredditdrama to be populated by insufferable users who are typical redditors and who have politically correct takes on drama happenings. The subredditdrama crowd is referred to as "srdines" by the drama users. Subredditdrama is allowed to directly link to other subreddits, but the drama community was prohibited from doing that due to allegations of brigading. The main thrust of drama's complaints is that the administrators of reddit have shown bias and discrimination against certain meta subreddits based on whether or not the content and commentary on them pleases the political and social opinions of the reddit administrators.
Eventually the mods of r/drama told users to avoid submitting drama that related to reddit at all. At this point, they were effectively neutered as a meta subreddit. They were, however, a favorite target of the reddit busybodies that try to get communities banned. Anti-evil began removing words like "r-tard" and "troon"...so r/drama had them autochanged to r-slur and t-slur. Eventually their moderators had determined that if the community was to survive, they would have to move it from reddit to elsewhere. At around this time they also told the users that the adminstrators of reddit were being so vague and ridiculous that the mods were restricting the subreddit to posting only emojis as commentary.
Essentially, once the site off reddit was established, everything was back on the table. They had the freedom that they had once enjoyed on reddit. They advertised their new site on reddit until the administrators told them that they could not but the word had spread and the community had mostly migrated to drama.net. Are there transgender people administering drama.net? Possibly, but no one cares. The issue for drama was never that anyone was gay, trans, male, female, Jewish, Muslim or anything else. They just like drama. There are definitely gay admins of drama.net but again, no one cares. They are able to take a joke and make a joke. Something doesn't stop being asburd or dramatic just because someone from a "protected minority" group is involved. Drama is for everyone.
The community is doing what, really, no other reddit community has successfully done. They set up a reddit alternative for themselves that hasn't been overtaken by any group or other. The community is a diverse group of people with different genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, political beliefs and interests but they manage to get along well and maintain a sense of humor and that's something that the world needs a bit more of. The world also needs more spaces where the truly bad actors influencing society and social media can be called out and exposed instead of protected.
