Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    (ventpost) a personalized fuckyou to musk for making it impossible for me/making twitter effectively unusable without being logged in

    (context: power’s out in my area atm, and (because of a variety of ZA-flavoured reasons, which are also problems…) I can’t actually get any fucking info because it’s all just on a twitter feed)

    I still refuse to log in though (and I’ll double down on hating the cunt for his choices impacting my life in this manner)

      It remains infuriating how many agencies/governments simply don’t have reliable online public feeds, with information.

      Especially annoying when the only place with info is twitter and/or Facebook.

      (That doesn’t fully solve the community contributions, which should also be useful, but at minimum any info from official accounts SHOULD be posted elsewhere)

        yea, strong agree

        I’m going to see if I can get something done about this my side of the world, but that involves a lot of yaks
