Encyclopedia Dramatica (ED)

Encyclopedia Dramatica is a parody-style wiki focused on documenting internet culture, memes, and online drama. It originated in the United States and was founded in 2004 by Sherrod DeGrippo (also known as Girlvinyl), who launched the site as a repository for LiveJournal drama and related online phenomena. The encyclopedia-like articles are written in an encyclopedic tone but are intentionally satirical, often featuring provocative or offensive content associated with trolling culture and communities such as Anonymous. (en.wikipedia.org)

Historical notes and domain history: In 2011, the original ED domain was redirected away from its main site to a separate project, Oh Internet, created by DeGrippo. Subsequently, ED reemerged under new management by different operators and migrated its domain to encyclopediadramatica.se (and related domains) as part of its ongoing evolution. The site is widely described in media as a “troll archive” and a hub for discussing internet subcultures, with coverage noting its controversial and offensive content as part of its identity. (en.wikipedia.org)

Related context: Encyclopedia Dramatica has been discussed and analyzed in mainstream outlets as a foundational node in early online trolling culture and as a collaborative, user-edited repository that diverges from typical encyclopedic norms. Its history includes periods of ownership and domain changes, as well as association with broader internet communities and events. (en.wikipedia.org)
