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.]

iirc it costs twitter a lot of money via computing resources when you block a lot of people (this also explains why musk randomly goes on anti blocking as a concept periods, because he doesn't care ideologically, it just is expensive) so blocking a few tens of thousand people, and installing a good adblocker might make you a net negative source of cash for twitter. Not that I think it is going well with the massive amount of bots on there (including a big amount of them verified, im amazed the site is still going on).
I run Blue Blocker and I've blocked somewhere over 200k so far, but that's just because I work hard as a hater
I try to be more Artisinal in my blocking. I even light some candles every time I block somebody. For which I might need some help budget wise.
it's a pity there is nobody here who is good with the economy
I think for a while obvious automation like that got you suspended as well yeah.
