    Hi, I’m John Bierce, cheesy fantasy novelist (both in the sense of writing cheesy books, and in the sense of being full of the literal dairy product), and I was on SneerClub (using various accounts) since around… 2019, 2020? I’ve missed it since it fled Reddit, especially with all the rampant, stupid AI hype and TESCREAL bullshit running rampant right now.

    I was on the old reddit /r/sneerclub, same username. Finally making an account here. I will probably post a few sneequence classics that haven’t been discussed mocked properly before.

    I’ve been meaning to ask if Liv Boeree is on the radar. I’d seen her stuff recommended on YT and it seemed like innocuous sciencey stuff but instantly got the rationalist vibe. Then saw she was on Lex Fridman’s podcast. Looked into her a bit (wikipedia) and she is indeed in the effective altruism world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liv_Boeree

    Just noticed this sticky. I’m here because nowhere else do people shit on Yudkowsky enough. Fuck that hack with a chainsaw, metaphorically of course.

    Hello, lurker from ye olde sneerclubbe. So glad to see this place continue! Huge source of comfort when I broke with the rat community after realising how crazy cultish they are—thanks sneeple ✨️

    Hi, I was a small-time poster and mostly-lurker on sneerclub. Good to find this place where I can follow the atrocity-documentation. PS does this mean I have joined the fediverse?

    Hello! I’m Eric and I’ve been sneering for a year. Love, love, love this community because reading some of the misanthropic techno fash b.s. rat cult beliefs was making me big mad & big sad, but injecting sneers directly into my veins has inoculated me :)

    Hi, everyone!

    I wanted to create an astronomical number of accounts on behalf of all the people who didn’t support the creation of this instance, just so they could be banned forever, but that wouldn’t be very aligned of me.

    Let’s have fun sneering together until Yud nukes the server.

        I really like sneering at hn posts and I always wished techtakes had more traffic. I’m not sure how to swing it from a community growth standpoint (at least til we federate) but there’s always room for more sneer communities here
