Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting 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: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this - gonna try posting last week's thread a different way this time)

An update, a user stated, "with all love and respect": "people will not starting hating Brave but they will start to hate the mod who blocked Brave".

2 hours later they'd removed their account.

I'm not super familiar with Lobsters but I love how they represent bans: https://lobste.rs/~SuddenBraveblock

@hrrrngh @gerikson Pretty sure that's that person deleting their account and not a ban, bans look a bit different (e.g. https://lobste.rs/~AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

Yes, the person briefly changed their username and then left the site (disowning their comments). There are 2 people with "inactive-user" comments in the thread that simply flounced off to greener pastures.
