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 youā€™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 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.

    A lemmy-specific coiner today: https://awful.systems/post/2417754

    The dilema of charging the users and a solution by integrating blockchain to fediverse

    First, there will be a blockchain. There will be these cryptocurrencies:

    This guy is speaking like he is in Genesis 1

    I guess it would be better that only the instances can own instance-specific coins.

    You guess alright? You mean that you have no idea what youā€™re saying.

    if a user on lemmy.ee want to post on lemmy.world, then lemmy.ee have to pay 10 lemmy.world coin to lemmy.world

    What will this solve? If 2 people respond to each otherā€™s comments, the instance with the most valuable coin will win. What does that have to do with who caused the interaction?

      Yes crypto instances, please all implement this and ā€œdisallowā€ everyone else from interacting with you! I promise weā€™ll be sad and not secretly happy and that youā€™ll make lots of money from people wanting to interact with you.

      Note that you donā€™t need cryptocurrencies for this. I think Jaron Lanier talked about an idea like this ages ago, before people tried to put cryptocurrencies into everything.

      1 post 6 comments joined 3 months ago, ā€œiā€™m naive to cryptoā€ ā€œI want to host an instance that serves as a competitive alternative to Facebook/Threads/X to the users in my country,ā€

      yeah he doesnā€™t even have to charge for interacting with him iā€™ll avoid him without it
