this is Habryka talking about how his moderating skills are so powerful it takes lesswrong three fucking years to block a poster who's actively being a drain on the site

here's his reaction to sneerclub (specifically me - thanks Oliver!) calling LessOnline "wordy racist fest":

A culture of loose status-focused social connection. Fellow sneerers are not trying to build anything together. They are not relying on each other for trade, coordination or anything else. They don't need to develop protocols of communication that produce functional outcomes, they just need to have fun sneering together.

He gets us! He really gets us!

oh, i'm laughing now. it's actually beautiful that it was the anubis' anime jackal girl that forced him to drop the plausible deniability shield and go full queerphobic.

I finally found which user we're talking about and I am quietly delighted at that smarmy fucker being directed to the fourth-floor egress.

edit: here's the long form mod last warning. You'll see in that thread my next prediction for ejection via the fourth floor, whose profile shows he's into crypto.

....why does that username ring bells in my brain

did it show up here somewhat recently? (I ask right before checking search)

(e: nothing immediately in search but I could swear I've seen that name somewhere in the last few months (and not in a good context))

smarmy not as cryptic as he thought right-winger on lobsters who didn't quite hide his power level

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 6 points 1 week ago

shit you're right, I should search offsite (active) chats too

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 5 points 1 week ago

(like, largely it just bugs me where I know the name from (because being baseline horrendous at recalling names and then recognising this one is uhhhh))

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.]
