Comment by flere-imsaho@awful.systems on What's the deal with the recent activity on the old subreddit?

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.

not only the thread is closed, i was banned for asking that question:

transcript follows

Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/SneerClub because you broke this community’s rules. You won’t be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.

Note from the moderators:

There, the sub is dead again (for you).

If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.

Very glad to see the sub being run exactly as it was always supposed to be.

I know this isn’t what you meant but I’ve long been fascinated (and slowly ramping up my clue in relevant areas) of using natural phenomena as synth/sound inputs. which is why I misread this at first

Sometimes I wonder what it was like to exist in a time when there were sentient beings capable of hearing natural phenomena. Now they are only heard as synth/sound inputs…

haha :)

nah, you misunderstand me (although that’s on me for not explaining in any depth whatsoever)

I’m extremely in the every-sound-is-valid camp. as in, I don’t (for example) have an “intake” filter/process/whatever that makes hardspace things be perceived as dubstep, or any such flavour shit. but (for me at least) it is the exploration of sound itself that is fun - the composition, the production, the perception. the way it interplays with perception. all of it!

as to the specific thing I mentioned in previous comment, the flavour I want to chase for the thing I want to make is literally using hail (possibly through modelling? not sure) as a driving input (same as people have used motion, light, and space as methods in creation)

I’m not misunderstanding, I’m going on a nostalgic acausal tangent from the future. Which, incidentally, is the title of my next album.

(idly, as little as I tend to make public, you can in fact see some of this in antecedent thinking on my reddit, where I asked about the state of clue of how physical different-medium materials interact to create some sound (on which I never got an answer, but I didn’t have high expectations))

it was always a risk; questioning someone’s integrity, be it directly or indirectly, is rarely welcomed.

needless to say, i’m even less inclined to resume any activity on reddit.

bonus: some *chan-pilled gobshite thinks this branch is not cool enough (cw: ableism)

It has no reach. Sorry. I myself go there every few weeks to check last threads, but becoming insular autistic circlejrk circlejerking over other autist made it intellectualy impotent, sorry.

Yeah bad vibes on the undead sub. Amazed by the person goign ‘it can be hard to reach new people on the fediverse’ when there have been a lot more randos who don’t know what this place is here, and some threads went the lemmiverse equiv of viral.

Lol at them thinking sneerclub was a great intellectually potent place vs a place to say ‘look at this extremely offended dork’ a lot.

Smart, funny people create good times

Good times attract unfunny morons

Unfunny morons create bad times

Bad times attract smart, funny people

Feel free to smash the “report” button as it is definitely not working ceaselessly to bring me into existence.

nah, i’m not going back where i’m clearly not wanted; the mods can take care of this themselves.

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.]
