> Some drama with Pomu's discord. The Pomucord has been nuked ever since some trolls started spamming.

This happened since an admin banned a lot of mods, claiming they were power tripping and abusing mentally ill members. Turns out, that who got pissed over Pomucord's pride month a couple months ago and has actually banned the entire mod team, making him the sole authority in the Discord server. He did this as a massive power trip too because apparently, a couple mods were talking about how to remove him. (Which they can't on a discord server)

Now, discord members have instigated a coup, bringing all sorts of LGBTQ memes and spamming them to hell and back. That same admin also tried to fight back, but the result is that the Pomucord is dead, and it seems like they'll be making a new one.

TLDR: A Pomucord admin singlehandedly burned the entire server after that very angry (probably homophobic) admin wanted to retaliate.

> Another bout of Discord drama, this time with Finana. She has joined a fan discord server for Valorant. Those servers then excluded Finana's gachikois and even started to stream/play with a male 'friend' of Finana's.

She then proceeded to leak her audition tape (presumably without permission), and that tape even introduced her past life. As for why, it's probably because the members of that discord were dumping a lot of money into her.

The end result is that this drove off a lot of loyal supporters for Finana, since this was basically her being exhibiting stupidity and favouritism again. Now, she's trying to fix everything, and even set member-exclusive streams to public.
