    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 ✨️

    Lurker. SC helped ensure I didn't fully enter the rabbithole of LW/rationalists/SSC, which is good because literally just the relatively short exposure I had to their nonsense has had lasting effects on me. So yea.

    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.

    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.

    Hello. I've been a lurker in SneerClub for a year or so.

    I've never been either a Yudkowsky-style rationalist or worked in the IT industry, but my whole life has been weirdly parallel to this sort of thing. And now that world has nurtured some of the worst A-list villainy of our times.

    Yays. I'm still trying to work out precisely how deep the rot goes.

    Favourite personal hate sinks include Scott Alexander, Richard Hanania, Robin Hanson, Steven Pinker, Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, and the thing that bought Twitter. I have a bad feeling these people are building an intellectual infrastructure for fascism more functional than anything the fascists could manage themselves.

    Fuck yeah, SneerClub 2: the Sneerquel.

    Swablr the Blue. That was my name. I am Swlabr the uncoloured. And I come back to you now - at the turn of the tide.
