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.]

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.

I have often thought about just nuking most of my reddit posts and have not done so because I'm easily distracted. So I also feel like the latter.

Instead of nuking it, it would be better for the fediverse if you backlinked your favorite fediverse instance in all of your comments. It's your content, you wrote it, you own the license to it. It would seem absurd if YouTube made a rule that stated video creators couldn't talk about the merch they sell or their company association. Though, some subreddits might make the decision to censor some of your comments.

This tool is easy to use to edit all comments. It doesn't provide the ability to add a signature to all comments though, and only allows you to fully edit a comment.

That is not something I would prob do, as I think that is a little bit annoying and spammy. (and I don't like to do things I don't like myself while leaning on 'technically there is no rule against it'. It would also be annoying in a few old subreddits which I used to post in which have nothing to do with all of this (and I don't want to annoy them), so I would to have put more work into whitelisting/blacklisting the various subs. But still thanks, somebody else might want to use it.

So far I have mostly resorted to manually deleting a few posts every now and then so far. (And the few times I still use it nowadays, a few posts per month, I tend to delete the posts eventually already).

I'm also not sure im interesting enough as a poster for people to actually follow me, or that people actually care that much. Tried before the restart to every now and then point towards this instance and I found that process annoying. (So this also means a large percentage of the people now left in sneerclub will be the worst, so it might finally morph into the boogyman the Rationalists always made it out to be).

Some people seem to be genuinely happy it's back, but that could just be the honeymoon phase, so let's see. I might even post there now and then since I still use my Reddit account because I stuck around thanks to discoverability in the Fediverse being just awful which means I haven't found a good replacement for a bunch of communities I like.
