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 ✨️
welcome back!
hello, my name is David Gerard and I caused the downfall of Twitter and hence Reddit
Thank you. I’m 4grams, and I appreciate it.
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.
Hi people from sneerclub, I used to ban you from sneerclub
I still have your hammer 🔨 haven’t had to use it yet
you jinxed it David!
lol
Hi, I’m Mii (u/0xMii on Reddit), software dev and hobby artist. I was a lurker on old SneerClub and TechTakes and only recently found out they moved here. Glad to have it back, because with the current AI hype, the TESCREAL clowns creep in everywhere and I’m trying to maintain my sanity.
They almost got me and pulled me into their cult a few years back, but I luckily got out before it was too late.
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
discussedmocked properly before.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.
Welcome! Maybe you’ll be interested in out MoreWrite sub too
I’ll check it out!
Greetings and salutations. I am a living breathing, systematic error.
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.
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?
Hi, it took me 5 months to join, but here I am from /r/sneerclub.
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.

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
I was just about over my withdrawal symptoms from reddit, and now this comes along. Thanks a lot, you bastards.
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.
