Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
Some fediverse links from non-mastodon sites canāt be loaded directly, it seemsā¦ if I stick the url into my mastodon clientās search field itāll take me to the actual post, because itāll do the request via the fedipub api. Anyway, I appreciate thatās a pretty poor UX for most people, so Iāll try and check my links more carefully in future!
I saw the post linked yesterday, fwiw. Iām annoyed I didnāt spot that it was missing a timestamp, as thatās usually a sign of suspicious tweets.
oh, I had to find that with quoted twitter search - didnāt see it linked on javiās post
