Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
I don’t know what this qualifies as but

Firefox should put this screenshot in their ads
Xcom has always been a place where hope goes to perma-die
weird it never was an issue on nitter, maybe enhanced tracking protection protects from enhanced tracking. who knew
it’s ecks being narky in a new way
wildly speculating[0]: every other twitter money idea that felon’s had so far hasn’t worked out, so now they’ll try the open-the-data-floodgates model for seeing if the (remaining) databrokers (that still have anything on the site) are willing to give a few pennies more
([0] - I do mean wildly. haven’t checked a lick of data to see if the guess hold up. but then, neither would have felon either)
(the far more likely (and far more boring) reason is likely something benign, “there’s no developers around to deal with whatever issue ETP is causing on their un-/barely-maintained webUI” is a good candidate)
I just wonder at the horrible hacks they need to employ to have your twitter login data automatically still work on x
