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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    I just want to highlight that lemmy decided that .de domains were obviously legit, and the instanceā€™s own domain does not get the autolink treatment (probably because the inner crate hasnā€™t been updated against IANA roots? who knows)

    bless this jank

      and here is a rare instance where Iā€™ll 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)

          Wild, isnā€™t it? And thatā€™s 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€¦

        Well fuck, now Iā€™m going to have to dig into that, because that sounds like a wonderfully cursed divergent behaviour
