    Hi, I’m John Bierce, cheesy fantasy novelist (both in the sense of writing cheesy books, and in the sense of being full of the literal dairy product), and I was on SneerClub (using various accounts) since around… 2019, 2020? I’ve missed it since it fled Reddit, especially with all the rampant, stupid AI hype and TESCREAL bullshit running rampant right now.

    I was on the old reddit /r/sneerclub, same username. Finally making an account here. I will probably post a few sneequence classics that haven’t been discussed mocked properly before.

    Hi, I was a small-time poster and mostly-lurker on sneerclub. Good to find this place where I can follow the atrocity-documentation. PS does this mean I have joined the fediverse?

    Just noticed this sticky. I’m here because nowhere else do people shit on Yudkowsky enough. Fuck that hack with a chainsaw, metaphorically of course.

    Hello, lurker from ye olde sneerclubbe. So glad to see this place continue! Huge source of comfort when I broke with the rat community after realising how crazy cultish they are—thanks sneeple ✨️

    I’ve been meaning to ask if Liv Boeree is on the radar. I’d seen her stuff recommended on YT and it seemed like innocuous sciencey stuff but instantly got the rationalist vibe. Then saw she was on Lex Fridman’s podcast. Looked into her a bit (wikipedia) and she is indeed in the effective altruism world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liv_Boeree

    Lurker. SC helped ensure I didn’t fully enter the rabbithole of LW/rationalists/SSC, which is good because literally just the relatively short exposure I had to their nonsense has had lasting effects on me. So yea.

        I really like sneering at hn posts and I always wished techtakes had more traffic. I’m not sure how to swing it from a community growth standpoint (at least til we federate) but there’s always room for more sneer communities here
