The Origins of the Hatred This loathing of reddit seems to stem back from 2008 in this thread from the /prog/ textboards at world4ch.
FUCKING HATE REDDIT/ Anonymous : 2008-03-15 01:12/ http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1205555865
Okay, let me start with this: FUCK. REDDIT. I really hate that faggot site and its users. It’s really bad and we need to find a solution for it. There’s a steaming pile of shit coming from that webshite, and it certainly isn’t just trolls. It’s retards. Redditards, poluting our lovely /prog/. Through the text I’ll use “reddit” but I mean “programming.reddit.com” and not the whole reddit community, which while still full of BS not relevant to /prog/’s polution.
THE(IR) PROBLEM If you have an account at reddit or even browse it, and you’re not a redditard yourself you know what I’m talking about; Fucking idiots overusing internet memes, exactly like what the xkcd faggot does. Doing so, they believe they belong in some “elite” community of computer experts that like esoteric jokes. You should understand their mental state by now: “I can’t fucking program but I might make esoteric jokes that apparently computer experts like and maybe, just maybe others will think I’m an expert myself!”. Fucking morons. If one takes a moment from his day to browse reddit, might like the topics. Let’s see what we got: “How to * with Python ”, “A simple * with *”, “ in 10 steps”, “*: the revolutionary blog/software/other”, “Using * for fun & profit”. One might think, “ah, a nice community. I’ll stay a while with them”. The other day wakes up only to find the same topics with changed blog links and titles. If you don’t believe me try it yourself. (yeah, ofcourse there are the retarded “points too, how could a faggot community live without them? Look: wikipedia, digg, ..)
WHY /prog/ SUCKS It wasn’t long ago that reddit faggots weren’t aware of /prog/. I believe, 4-5 months ago /prog/ was clean of all the faggotry & spam. Back then a thread could make your day, and everyone was contributing content, which ofcourse lead to funny memes et al, unlike all these self-proclaimed “memes”. (notice any simile with the redditards? self proclaimed computer experts & funny or some shit) If you are not a /prog/ regular or oldie you might have not noticed, you might think that it’s been like that from the beginning. But it wasn’t. Even worse, you might think that these posts are from trolls, but they are not. Ok, maybe some are, but trolls are not retarded (as some may think). I’m a big time troll and I don’t think most of you understand trolling.
