The article image is defs AI generated, and the giveaway is of course drumroll the fucking hands

also the caption feels wrong. guy on the right looks nothing like musk, it was probably thiel in the prompt.

Schindler’s Piss*

Are you a dad mid-squint, trying to visually discern something before giving up or putting on eyeglasses? Because the more I look at it, that’s the vibe I get from the pic

It’s something strange. Maybe in this neighbourhood.

double check that your rubbers didn’t get punctured.

Extra wrinkly*, for your partner’s pleasure

I didn't say: "X mod has gone alt-right! This must be a conspiracy! The moon isn't real!"

I said: "I guess this mod has gone alt-right?"

Seeing and mentioning changes is worth mentioning, even if those changes are unrelated. That's just... basic observation.

Of course, if you want to conspiratorially cast aspersions on everything I'm saying, that's fine. I am going to disengage starting... now.

Throwing in that comment about Son_of_Sophroniscus was pretty out there!

It seemed relevant to the discussion to look at the moderator list in case there was any information. In this case, the information seemed to be a dead end, which is why I didn't try to speculate beyond a statement of fact.

But instead we’ve got that, people talking about a “weird/bad vibe”, reading tea leaves all over the shop…

People are allowed to comment on the vibe. I think it is completely fair to express frustration at the reopening for the reasons stated in other parts of this thread.

But even in just your own case, it seems like the opposite of not jumping to conclusions to throw in references to old mods going alt right that bear absolutely zero relationship to any of the handful of posts on the “resurrected” sub

I can't believe I have to explain this very ordinary attempt of trying to see what's going on:

1. the status quo changes (r/sneerclub comes back online)
2. I look for answers (in this case, I ask here for information, and look around the subreddit for information)
3. I resist the urge to jump to the easy/obvious answer, and share what little information I had here

Then, as you pointed out in your other comments, it was the obvious answer, which I will happily accept as there is proof.

Yo dawg, slow your roll. Yes, that is the easy explanation. I just wanted more information before jumping to any conclusions. Not all of us (read: I) were deeply familiar with the moderator dynamics nor had a reason to be.

Again either way I’ve made my choice to be here, so to me, it doesn’t really matter what’s going on beyond my own curiosity.

:/

I am not much of a Reddit muckraker. I checked out the posts from the mods I didn't recognise. The longtime mod Son_of_Sophroniscus appears to now be alt-right? Other than that, I still can't make heads or tails of any of it.

Twice the sneer, double the… club?

We should have let Google cook on this one so they’d reveal their next ad targeted at olympic athletes, where the premise is that instead of thinking about how to respond to letters from kids, they just use AI. Obviously to save time and let them get back to training and inspiring more kids!

roided Clippy

idk the assets that came with my pirated word installs were better than today’s AI dreck

Harry Potter and the Broken Clock

Hmm could be cutesier. Maybe Phesius. Pronounced faece-us

If someone is talking in parables it’s a red flag for me dawg.

I ain't reading all this. I don't even know who Yglesias is.

My first thought: Man, why the fuck does the numbering of the sections annoy me so much?

Second thought: Ok, I'm skimming this because again fuck all these words. Looks like he's trying to explore something about "master" and "slave" morality that I will not dig into because it's probably a bunk formulation of thought. Why does Edward Teach, the pirate, come up? The section did not appear to explain it.

Final thought: Okay, I think I was right not to read any of this. Essentially, it is just a paean to some truly terrible people (Tate, Hanania, Ayn Rand etc.) in the form of a shaggy dog story, with Nietzche referenced a lot.

Anyway, now I'm fighting the urge to get drunk on scotch, listen to "No Surprises" by radiohead and walk into the fucking ocean

😡🤜☁️

We assumed too much good faith. Time to lock it down

As someone who has recently been spending a lot of time rolling my own USB devices, this would require logitech to form a gang and throw out the current USB standards and completely vertically integrate for this idea to not be an abject failure. I guess it could happen! But yeah in terms of who gets to rule over our inevitable cyberpunk dystopia, I just don’t think it’ll be Logitech. Unless they pivot to bionics.

*edit: am now thinking Logitech will definitely pivot to bionic limbs and you’ll have to configure them with logitech options, ugh
