Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

occurring to me that this server would be a great spot for a crypto skeptic sub, meme stock skeptic sub, etc

I'm in as long as it has an embedded marketplace, user-friendly wallet and seamless NFT purchases

someone tried starting a r/buttcoin replacement https://awful.systems/c/Buttcoin@kbin.social but it's basically dead

[–] locallynonlinear@awful.systems 10 points 11 months ago

Oddly, r/buttcoin is still doing well enough that it's one of the few places I still stop by on reddit. Can't say the same for any community still on twitter, dough.

I see I see. well the subreddit is fine, although I'm not a huge fan of going there and seeing slurs

[–] acausal_masochist@awful.systems 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It would be nice to have a version here without the slurs. I can stand the obnoxious liberal takes, but there's a line somewhere.

definitely feel free to open an interest check thread for a new community — I’m not against the idea at all, and if there’s enough interest (and maybe a funny name suggestion) I’ll create it

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

i mean, the only name is buttcoin

[–] self@awful.systems 3 points 11 months ago

huh… nothing can actually, technically stop us from starting a buttcoin sub here, can it

[–] self@awful.systems 5 points 11 months ago

I consider it absolutely in scope for TechTakes given our focus (crypto is just one techfash grift among many) and the composition of our community; we can revisit and maybe split off a community if the volume of crypto shit ever gets overwhelming though
