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
i mean it didn’t show up as pinned ever before, at least for me
maybe awful.systems talking better to discuss.tchncs.de for obscure reasons? WELCOME TO FEDI WHO KNOWS HOW THE HELL ANY OF THIS WORKS
I just want to highlight that lemmy decided that .de domains were obviously legit, and the instance’s own domain does not get the autolink treatment (probably because the inner crate hasn’t been updated against IANA roots? who knows)
bless this jank
and here is a rare instance where I’ll be, like, 30% gracious. modern zoneroots are a fucking trip.
for instance, you may think you have an idea of how many there are. maybe even a guess? go on, have a guess. write it down. then open this link and post your delta
(side thought: this could be a drinking game)
I guessed 500. That’s…that’s not how many.
mastodon and bluesky are conspiracies by Big Janky Offbrand Domain Name
Wild, isn’t it? And that’s just the raw TLD config, ignoring all the weird ccTLD etc things going on
And not even mentioning the once-again-grift-rich world of altroots…
that’s only desktop, jerboa autolinks both
Well fuck, now I’m going to have to dig into that, because that sounds like a wonderfully cursed divergent behaviour
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
how many fingers do you have
an accident with a teleporter and Midjourney
there was a perfectly good abyss/cthulhu joke here and you just DIDN’T
david.
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
