FUCKING HATE REDDIT

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.

THE SOLUTION
Okay, now that I bothered you with my text, I'm all ears to see what you got to
say about this issue. I cannot think of a solution to get rid of faggots, but I
don't want to see /prog/ become a cesspool like reddit. I wish the old expert
programmers would come back..

Excuse the copypasta in my post but I have to haste.

I've been hear for years. I was a big user of HMA, and in the last few moments i've brought dubs too the textboards. it's my finest work. U MAD?!!!. I've never browsed reddit in my life.

>>3
I love HMA. HAX MY ANUS!

>>3
you made me write this:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=quMYBNi2

i'm now putting "expert userscript developer" on my resume and will add a code sample to my portfolio soon.

>>5
Contribute to the SexpCode→BBCode compiler, it needs a decent interface.

i guess it's not so much the spamming that bothers me, i can
filter that out... sometimes i'm thinking of the good posts i'm
missing out on because talented /prog/riders are leaving because
of your shit.

HMA is not even a meme. A meme is a funny catchphrase that you can
actually use somewhere in a funny way. HMA was never funny.

>>6
i dunno about doing stuff like that...

i think i'll update this userscript with an interface to alter the definition of shit(); and a way to exempt posts from the shitlist, but I don't think i'm going to contribute to special markup cuz that would ruin it for the rest

>>3
Is your purpose with the whole thing merely to annoy people?

_▲^▲_▲

>>10
Back to /b/.

>>11
he used bbcoed to do it, you cock sucking faggot. he's from here.

>>12
A mere [m] tag is not an acceptable amount of ^B_BCode. _sage your posts ^or Go back to /b/, please.

>>13
no ^u _faggot

>>14
^{How is that} _{supposed to be} an acceptable amount of ^B_BCode?

Fact: average redditor is smarter than >>12

>>16
Fact: average proggitor is more autistic than any redditor

>>7
Hax and anus have definetly become memes and with certainty they are quite funny at times.

And yeah i hate reddit and we should make sure to avoit reddit when possible.
If we would say start a "war" or take reddit down or something, the shit would only flow over to /prog/.

>>18
well, i looked it up... seems you are right

Richard Dawkins initially defined meme as a noun which "conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation".

IMO though, all these shitmemes (the dub bot, HMA, ugly bbcode, list goes on) add nothing to /prog/. they contain zero information, aren't funny and just plain suck. still, the homepage is completely filled with them, ...

it's time for a new chan where these clowns get banned
who will start a new chan?

>>4,10-17
GTFO, nobody would miss you.

>>12
especially you, go die in a fire

>>19
who will start a new chan?
No thank you.

LOOK UP MY ANUS

FILL MY ANUS

BAN MY ANUS

NOBODY WOULD MISS MY ANUS

GO DIE IN MY ANUS

>>20
i'm serious, there's a niche to filled for a /prog/ themed chan with a smaller, more dedicated userbase and more active ban-hammering.

rechan was close, but they got too fixated on anonix.

/prog/ exodus 2011

I think the /anus/riders finally realized that all possible programming discussions have been had, so they resort to shitposting.

>>23
/prog/ reached singularity.

>>1
Dear /prog/, please STOP DOING it!

DAE hate reddit?

I hate reddit AMA.

Fixed that tl;dr for you, good sir.

>>25
I can't upvote you enough.

It's a losing battle my friend.
All we have to do is keep making good threads ourselves, and endure the trolls and memekids with their int lol = rand();

>>26
ಠ_ಠ

>>28
UPBOATED, BITCH

>>9
yEP!

>>30
Hax my anus.

>>31
Setting up for dubs

<-- that's cool and all, but check my doubles over there

"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!"

Sounds like /prog/.
