What's the deal with the recent activity on the old subreddit? (awful.systems)

NSFW 60 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm seeing two posts from the mods that are sneerworthy content that aren't meta-posts announcing the de-sunsetting of r/sneerclub. I just wanna know what's up.

FWIW, I will stay here and probably won't participate in the subreddit out of laziness.

thread closed by some guy called "giziti"?

Looks like he was a mod as recently as a year ago, but doesn't know what's up either. Seems weirdly hostile to us, though.

it was always a risk; questioning someone's integrity, be it directly or indirectly, is rarely welcomed.

needless to say, i'm even less inclined to resume any activity on reddit.

bonus: some *chan-pilled gobshite thinks this branch is not cool enough (cw: ableism)

It has no reach. Sorry. I myself go there every few weeks to check last threads, but becoming insular autistic circlejrk circlejerking over other autist made it intellectualy impotent, sorry.

Yeah bad vibes on the undead sub. Amazed by the person goign 'it can be hard to reach new people on the fediverse' when there have been a lot more randos who don't know what this place is here, and some threads went the lemmiverse equiv of viral.

Lol at them thinking sneerclub was a great intellectually potent place vs a place to say 'look at this extremely offended dork' a lot.

Smart, funny people create good times

Good times attract unfunny morons

Unfunny morons create bad times

Bad times attract smart, funny people

Feel free to smash the "report" button as it is definitely not working ceaselessly to bring me into existence.

nah, i'm not going back where i'm clearly not wanted; the mods can take care of this themselves.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
