One for the sidebar, in the spirit of incident-day-free counters[0], tracking how many days since the last time there was a dipshitted thing from the tescrealtors

Could do it with flap-counter or nixie-clock numbers for a bit of feel?

[0] - is this an insensitive idea? I know the counters tend to form part of safety culture and their reset indicates harm, but those clowns are exactly dangerous, so…

    It would have to be something specific but recurring, like tescreal guru accidentally-but-not-really advocates eugenics on main, or yudkowski running afoul of actual AI researchers on twitter and getting roundly mocked.

    But where’s the fun in canned sneering?

    Maybe we should have a weekly thread for meta discussion and sneers that are too low effort to be their own post?

      I was thinking something as simple as tag triggers or so, but a bundled low-fruit weekly is maybe also not the worst

    Some stuff is what the regulars dredge up from LW months ago, which raises the philosophical question - if a lesswronger posts a sneer but no-one reads it, is it really a sneer?

      It is only a sneer if the lesswrongers tell you to take it to r/sneerclub on reddit, else it is just sparkling…
