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)

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 a reading account for when i need to read reddit via logged-in account, so i went and asked.

ETA-1: and got banned for asking.

ETA-2: the subreddit's description still has “sub moved to https://awful.systems” in the old view.

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.

Giziti was made a mod to take pressure off the modteam, along with David Gerard (who also founded this place). The inference you’re drawing that they’re hostile seems wrong: it’s targeted not at this place but at people using the existence of this place to spam fediverse garble on the subreddit, demanding new rules to link to the fediverse(!)

fair play, then! Thanks for the info!

It's good to know that the oppo haven't gotten a hold of our old digs
