hello, my name is David Gerard and I caused the downfall of Twitter and hence Reddit
Thank you. I’m 4grams, and I appreciate it.
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.
Welcome! Maybe you’ll be interested in out MoreWrite sub too
I’ll check it out!
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
discussedmocked properly before.hi, another lurker from reddit here. maybe i’ll try posting this time around
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.
Hi, it took me 5 months to join, but here I am from /r/sneerclub.
Hi people from sneerclub, I used to ban you from sneerclub
I still have your hammer 🔨 haven’t had to use it yet
you jinxed it David!
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 ✨️
welcome back!
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
For the record
AI Safety: […] Not woke. Spans across political spectrum.
yeah right
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.
@dgerard I used to like lurking on the old subreddit. Now the Lemmy posts occasionally show up in my Mastodon feed. Glad to see people are still sneering!
hello; i’m here to sneer and complain. i have many hobbies that i don’t pursue and a mastodon.
I am, as it were, calling from the future. Acausally.
be here or be sneer, i guess
i sort of depend on this community to not go insane working in tech, so i’m happy it’s continuing
i’d restart techtakes here except only a very few read it on reddit either lol
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
