I think you're missing the forest for the few rotten trees (and I think it's because you want to).
But when one of the ADMINS who rarely condemn the community SHREDS into everyone about stopping the vigilantism.
When it reaches the size it is, you're guaranteed to have the idiots that do vigilante stuff. You forget that reddit is made up of people. Someone commented to torment his flickr photos and someone immediately replied back that it would be a dick move. Even just now I read a post about the Gizmodo jerk responding and making fun of reddit in a tweet. Their acts of vengence are terrible and misplaced. You're blindlyand prooflessly questioning their intentions and I find that offensive on their behalf. If you think that is the style of comments on reddit, then honestly, I question your actual participation there. I've seen Colbert talk about it, but NEVER have I seen a submission, let alone a post, that even remotely read "We're so awesome, go us!". The closest thing imaginable to what you're describing was "we're almost to $xxx,xxx dollars everyone" posts. I remember those posts where they were driving. Go find me a significant number of highly voted posts, or ANY, that gloat about how much they've raised. Obviously I was raining on some sort of special parade that I was not even invited to.Īnyway, there's something off about the Reddit community. This got downmodded and I was told I was being an "idiot jerk". I told him anyone could change the URL and run whatever they want. The reply was, "well, my app sets that, and nobod is going to change it". I said it was maybe not good practice to allow the user to supply an arbitrary UNIX command. The app was doing something like submitting a form field like "?shell_command=someapp%20-args". One post I remember reading was something like, "hey guys, I made a PHP app! it's open source so please comment". Then I started to notice a pattern - people were so happy that they wrote a blog post that it was suddenly forbidden to comment on it. I used to read programming reddit, and made a lot of comments there. Creepy church youth groups or after school specials
