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, 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.

yeah, i thought itās common knowledge that theyāre packed with nazis https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/poa.st just like most of pleroma instances (especially with soapbox) for that matter
update 2: record from another bad actor instance list that is not currently on fire https://tweaking.thebad.space/location/9982cd18-4ada-4d08-85b7-d02177cb11bf
Twitter disabled guest accounts (a username-less temporary access that apps and sites used to show a feed before you logged in) and so the main dev threw in the towel. Nitter still works, but requires real accounts now. So presumably the few nitter mirrors still working are reprogrammed to use real accounts behind the scenes.
thank you. bookmarked.
