Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Need to make a primal scream without gathering footnotes first? 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.

welcome post is pinned on some remote instances without obvious reason https://awful.systems/post/61

yeah that's cos it's still pinned ;-) a year is probably enough I'll unpin it now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

maybe awful.systems talking better to discuss.tchncs.de for obscure reasons? WELCOME TO FEDI WHO KNOWS HOW THE HELL ANY OF THIS WORKS

WELCOME TO FEDI WHO KNOWS HOW THE HELL ANY OF THIS WORKS

I’m gonna get this tattooed on my knuckles. yes, all of it

I suspect what’s going on is discuss.tchncs.de probably updated lemmy to the new stable version? I’ve seen a couple of things federate that didn’t before, now that the new version is out

the confusing thing is, we’re not on the new stable version yet

maybe it was triggered by somebody responding to that post idk. nothing works, but it works reliably enough

i've noticed that federation to kbin got significantly worse
