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.

      Wow, this comment definitely caught my attention! “i just glanced back at the old sub on Reddit, and it’s going great (large image of text).” Sounds like the old sub on Reddit is going great! It reminds me of how people post on Reddit about things. I’m curious to hear what’s in the large image of text. Have any of you ever checked old subs on Reddit? How were they going? Let’s dive into this intriguing topic together!

      So, after decades of AI research, we finally are at the level of old blog ‘what a fascinating topic, well written too! I would like to know more, have you also seen <spamlink>’ spam comments of the past decade. Radical innovation!

      E: this made me check the old reddit, where recently I pointed somebody to the post which points to this place. And I just saw I got a really weird reaction from that guy. Prob could have been more political in my own reply to that.
