Need to make a primal scream without gathering footnotes first? 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 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.
and here is a rare instance where Iāll be, like, 30% gracious. modern zoneroots are a fucking trip.
for instance, you may think you have an idea of how many there are. maybe even a guess? go on, have a guess. write it down. then open this link and post your delta
(side thought: this could be a drinking game)
I guessed 500. Thatāsā¦thatās not how many.

Wild, isnāt it? And thatās just the raw TLD config, ignoring all the weird ccTLD etc things going on
And not even mentioning the once-again-grift-rich world of altrootsā¦
