Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
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 cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
just fishy in aggregate. I wouldn’t say so much “because for olds” as “it’s far more likely for old(er)s to want something like that”. combine that with the wide array of other posts the account has engaged with, and the bio just wholly looks like bullshit to me
I agree that it’s fishy in this instance, but dig around in the “smol web” subculture (gemini protocol, etc) and you’ll find plenty of youngs who live in shells… cf. tilde.town
Oh yeah, I know about those :) it was more specifically about this exact instance indeed
I mean I did fuck around on some public VAX hosted things and such in the early 00s, so it’s not impossible for this to be a true thing, but yeah. just smells off
