I went to reddit for a day.

And I really don't see why so many people here whine about it.

That thing is kinda boring as far as programming discussion is concerned. The layout is ridiculous, made to be unreadable. I took quite a time to figure out how the things work there, and it still doesn't make sense many times.

If some people come here, steal things written here and repost there, big deal. Cancer is terminal everywhere, we are unfortunately not supposed to be an EXCEPTION.

Can we just talk about those fartists, GNAA, GC, SICP, poetry, shitposting again? I think reddit should be ignored from now on.

It is not a real menace to our terrible lifestyle.

One problem is that Reddit comes here to spread their memes to this place. We're here to discuss programming without regard to our celebrity status, thank you very much.

fartists
Don't even mention that word.

Back to Reddit, please !

Reddit comes here to spread their memes to this place

Such as?

They STEAL our memes!!

They are WAY BETTER than us!!

We are WAY BETTER than us!!

>>6
Name a single meme that reddit has stolen from /prog/

You can't. Reddit steals from /b/, that's true, but /prog/ simply has no memes that are worth stealing.

>>9
Have you not seen the plenty of ``Have you read your SICP today?'' comments?

memes are funny if they are creative, relevant and easily modifiable.
Parroting one line of text is not "memetic", its more of unfunny, forced spam.

Yeah, U mad, hurr durr derp shitty ''ms paint faces'' are the pincale of crativety and so much better than BBcode anal touring haskell and HMA.

I generally like Reddit, but one thing I dislike about it is that:

● It's full of politically correct, serious idiots. Try calling any faggot faggot there.
● You can't have lulz at the expense of others.
● They love, and I'm being serious here, absolutely love Microsoft. Go ahead, say anything bad about them there.
● It's too emo and stupid.

ITT: redditors who also read /prog/

ALSO ITT: EXPERT PROGRAMMERS who also read Reddit

>>10
You also get those on YouTube, /prog/riders' personal blogs, etc. I don't see why it bothers you.

I don't care about Reddit because I don't even understand what it is. I visited a few times and I didn't `get' the whole `subreddits' thing or how to find them.
Though I did stumble across some of the image dump `subreddits' and they were pretty good resources. Isn't Reddit supposed to be some sort of link sharing website anyway? Shouldn't that mean that just by the format of the site, they're going to `steal' memes?

one thing I dislike

YOu have FOUR FUCKING BULLET POINTS ya fucking genius!

>>16
One thing I dislike is a list of four strings. Is it so hard to figure it out? Fine, I'll post using the right syntax.

(define thing-i-dislike
    '("It's full of politically correct, serious idiots. Try calling any faggot faggot there."
      "You can't have lulz at the expense of others."
      "They love, and I'm being serious here, absolutely [b]love[/b] Microsoft. Go ahead, say anything bad about them there."
      "It's too emo and stupid."))

You're silly. One person I dislike is the array everyone_in_the_world[6921967361] and all its elements.

I went to reddit for a day.
Go back.

>>19
You sure showed him !

Reddit, Ruby, MongoDB, Obama.

>>13
You mean you actually went to /r/politics? How stupid are you? It's a commonly known fact that /r/politics is the first subreddit to unsubscribe from when you make an account.

>>22
No, /r/programming. Full of Microsoft loving serious idiots. And pretty much everywhere else full of politically correct faggots.

politically correct faggots

They will be first against the wall when the revolution comes, Citizen. Be warned.
