RDrama is getting worse by the day!
Problem 1: Jannie Civil War
I'm not sure how much of this is an actual problem/how much of it is carpathianflorist being an overly dramatic faggot, but it appears that some of the janitors are starting to think the site is srs bznz.
Whether we care or not, the userbase is typically treated to 1-2 janitor tantrums per day, as follows:
https://rdrama.net/post/75484/long-an-open-discussion-on-rdramas (I'm not archiving anything, it's really not important)
Some site admin (usually carp) will mad/sadpost about a feature or decision that they do not like, some dramatic blowup will ensue, and casual shitposters like myself will roll their eyes as people reference off-site discord conversations and change site functionality on a whim.
Probably the best example of this was carp threatening to flounce if the ghost award was not removed, which was a very cool post award that you could use to anonymize every post on a thread, to counteract attention-whoring by powerusers. The award ended up getting scrapped, which led to...
Problem 2: Discord users, and Namefagging, oh my!
Since every community these days has to have an off-site discord for no reason, rdrama has an off-site discord! Why does a zero effort shitposting website need a discord? Because some people are terminally attention starved and need to form cliques for validation.
This has, predictably, led to some users building up personas and in-jokes on discord and then inflicting them on users of the website. These spectacularly unfunny faggots then get updooted because people know them from discord, which gives us great frontpage content such as this!
And this!
If you see a comment chain with a bunch of signature blocks that are just large meme images, skip it, because odds are that it's going to be 50 or so comments worth of discord chads pinging each other.
Imagine how much better Kiwifarms would be if older users just pinged each other into threads and shit them up with 30 pages of bad in-jokes
Problem 3: Meta posting
"State of the Website" posts from users, usually in the form of "there are TOO MANY RIGHTOIDS on RDRAMA". Self referential posts about the state of r drama, like this one:
Or this!
These posts are never funny or insightful, in fact they have no use
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk, I will now go back to ignoring half of the website so that I can get my anti-trans ragebait for the day
