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.

      Edit: it’s all good, nvm!

        not only the thread is closed, i was banned for asking that question:

        transcript follows

          Very glad to see the sub being run exactly as it was always supposed to be.

              I know this isn’t what you meant but I’ve long been fascinated (and slowly ramping up my clue in relevant areas) of using natural phenomena as synth/sound inputs. which is why I misread this at first

                Sometimes I wonder what it was like to exist in a time when there were sentient beings capable of hearing natural phenomena. Now they are only heard as synth/sound inputs…

                  haha :)

                  nah, you misunderstand me (although that’s on me for not explaining in any depth whatsoever)

                  I’m extremely in the every-sound-is-valid camp. as in, I don’t (for example) have an “intake” filter/process/whatever that makes hardspace things be perceived as dubstep, or any such flavour shit. but (for me at least) it is the exploration of sound itself that is fun - the composition, the production, the perception. the way it interplays with perception. all of it!

                  as to the specific thing I mentioned in previous comment, the flavour I want to chase for the thing I want to make is literally using hail (possibly through modelling? not sure) as a driving input (same as people have used motion, light, and space as methods in creation)

                    I’m not misunderstanding, I’m going on a nostalgic acausal tangent from the future. Which, incidentally, is the title of my next album.

                    (idly, as little as I tend to make public, you can in fact see some of this in antecedent thinking on my reddit, where I asked about the state of clue of how physical different-medium materials interact to create some sound (on which I never got an answer, but I didn’t have high expectations))

            it was always a risk; questioning someone’s integrity, be it directly or indirectly, is rarely welcomed.

            needless to say, i’m even less inclined to resume any activity on reddit.

              bonus: some *chan-pilled gobshite thinks this branch is not cool enough (cw: ableism)

              It has no reach. Sorry. I myself go there every few weeks to check last threads, but becoming insular autistic circlejrk circlejerking over other autist made it intellectualy impotent, sorry.

                Yeah bad vibes on the undead sub. Amazed by the person goign ‘it can be hard to reach new people on the fediverse’ when there have been a lot more randos who don’t know what this place is here, and some threads went the lemmiverse equiv of viral.

                Lol at them thinking sneerclub was a great intellectually potent place vs a place to say ‘look at this extremely offended dork’ a lot.

                  Smart, funny people create good times

                  Good times attract unfunny morons

                  Unfunny morons create bad times

                Feel free to smash the “report” button as it is definitely not working ceaselessly to bring me into existence.

                  nah, i’m not going back where i’m clearly not wanted; the mods can take care of this themselves.

        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
