On the 15th of November, an announcement was posted in the #announcements channel by the user Wurzt that told members to start sending messages with the #RipDrake hashtag on the Twitter platform, many other servers such as [[Dogelore]] or [[Irony Hub]] also helped with the effort of pushing the hashtag into the trending section of Twitter. | |||
This goal was finally met and thanks to that many innocent individuals were caught up in a somewhat elite act of ironic trolling.<ref>[https://i.gyazo.com/36c19d8aaa4f84df29d0755b8b1324b9.png Screenshot of a message in the #announcement channel related to #RipDrake going trending in the US.]</ref><ref>[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/528925949568483328/777333032226783262/image0.png Screenshot of many unrelated twitter users getting trolled by #RipDrake]</ref> | |||
