I’m seeing two posts from the mods that are sneerworthy content that aren’t meta-posts announcing the de-sunsetting of r/sneerclub. I just wanna know what’s up.
FWIW, I will stay here and probably won’t participate in the subreddit out of laziness.
the official word is that we can now sneer on our choice of an enshittified website with weird vibes or a federated nuthouse running on broken software nobody likes. enjoy!
Answer on a postcard
All I know is one fundamental thing: between 49 to 100 per cent of you are all fucking nuts.
It seems like many still-active redditors have consulted Ass, My, et al (2024) to conclude any alternative to reddit were abject failures and not worth investigating
I’ve never been a frequent commenter in either this community or the subreddit. Though the subreddit moving here was the primary reason I created an account in the fediverse.
I think it’s good that the community can just move somewhere else. Though, at the blackout last year, reddit did seize larger subreddits from mods and prevented them at times from linking to fediverse related instances. My opinion is that this sub escaped it because reddit didn’t value the size of the subscriber list enough (even though people are commenting here surprised by the reach from /r/sneerclubs still existing followers list)
I think there was a lots of progress made in the last year with the fediverse, but it does make sense to me for why people who are concerned with the viewership of their content would want to move back.

Eh, I wonder if that need for attention is the problem with social media in general. I’ve really enjoyed the lower stakes discussions with experts here. I’m also digging the absence of noise generated by anonymous drive-by weirdos trying to maximize their internet points. Mind you, I think the structure of the fediverse is a net negative, but high-quality moderation on awful is more than accounting for that AND it doesn’t have all the built in attention-economy dark pattern stuff, so it’s easy to check real quick then put down, which is nice.
If you compare our buttcoin to /r/buttcoin today, for example, the difference is vast and obvious.
It remains to be seen if the New Management at /r/sneerclub can perform at the same level, but based on the news, I can see why someone might want to fire up the ole popcorn machine at this particular point in time.
It’s getting taken over by new, more compliant mods after it got abandoned by the OG mods, expect a sharp drop in quality of content too.
completely-ineffable was the original mod, hence being first on the mod list, so not really no
lmao, are you doing a bit? What the fuck could you possibly know, and why didn’t you check the easily checkable history of the sub’s modlist? The fact that you felt compelled to make this up should, frankly, embarrass you away from offering your comments on anything to do with either the sub or this instance at all
