Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

What's the deal with the recent activity on the old subreddit? (awful.systems)

I'm seeing two posts from the mods that are sneerworthy content that aren't meta-posts announcing the de-sunsetting of r/sneerclub. I just wanna know what's up.

FWIW, I will stay here and probably won't participate in the subreddit out of laziness.

so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.

and to be clear

i didn't think there is any conspiracy, that would be ridiculous,
if we subscribe to the idea that a community is owned, not stewarded, by mods, it's perfectly fine to do with the community whatever the mods want, without the need of them being accountable to anyone else,
i do think that reopening the sub after closing it in protest is mostly sad,
and a very small and rather insignificant footnote to a more general discussion on (f)utility of using master's tools to bring down the master's house.
