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.]

As @soyweiser@awful.systems says, this is not just an eyesore for people not on awful.sys, but unmoderated bullshit that is, for some reason, being federated out to everyone (except awful.sys).

I bring this up because this is some fresh new jank, not from concentrate: who is supposed to moderate hate speech or disinformation that is being spread in this way? Why does lemmy federate comments from banned people? This happens in techtakes as well, another user has no idea they're banned, posts regularly and is having conversations [removed link] with no indication that this guy is persona non grata.

ah that guy's on mathstodon

I meant the user they're speaking to, compare to [removed link]

EDIT: spoke to self, just more free jank, almost all of the visibility should be gone for the banned to howl into the void as intended.

it's only a sneer if it's from the Snierre region of awful systems, on mastodon it's just sparkling snideness

I miss the good old days when they had to make sneersneerclub to talk behind our backs instead of chatting up a wall, oblivious.
