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.

    someone re-invented email-threading. It’s billed as a way to have “long and complex discussions.” Their prototypical example? Yud’s utterly pointless thoughts on imaginary scenarios conjured up by his immense brain. Orange site is skeptical and yearns for 4chan instead.

      The feature I am looking forward to the most in comminication apps is having a machine learning model listen to those “quick calls”, generate summary and action items and post them right back in the thread. You get the benefits of both worlds that way.

      Oh, you do, do you?

      Their entire manifesto could have been replaced with:

      “Oh hey check out our threads in threads demo so you can comment on comments!”

      Like it’s not that deep. It doesn’t need a manifesto.
