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.]

this is a late follow-up from the topic in the last stubsack, but I do like the idea of a music sub. for now though, I think doing a variety of casual off-topic music threads in other subs is the right move, until we’ve got a good volume of posts and a cross-section of the types of threads we might want to post in a new sub.
(I’ll post some music recommendations in this thread when I get the chance later)
I'm also happy if we just have a variety of rotating off-topic threads like this. Part of the benefits of the smaller platform awful.systems has is (imo) being able to be a little more community-centered and less strictly focused. Like, sneer club should never start sneering primarily at my musical tastes but I'm honestly enjoying the more personal atmosphere here.
that’s a good point! it’s also quite a lot simpler to moderate too. a while ago I had some bad experiences with fascists using Reddit music recommendation threads to get people listening to subtly but definitely fash bands. my expectation is like the stubsack, our off-topic music threads will be mostly regulars. a dedicated music sub will definitely be more likely to break containment, so I’d like to have a dedicated moderator lined up for it who’s better at critical listening and knows more about the music industry in general than me (and I’d hate to start something like this just to have it fall onto @[email protected]’s overfull plate, though he’d have exactly the right kind of skills for the role)
ahem ;p
but igwym re volume, gotta make it go to 11 first
oh my bad I just noticed it’s the same comment
yes, it’s that early. also not helped by my cat stabbing me on the nose far too early this morning
and here I was about to figure out what’s wrong with our permalinks! (which, there is at least one thing wrong with our permalinks, just not this time around)
I’ve never figured out why comments fail on iOS safari (in priv mode) but work in Fx (also priv), but also jank ahoy
