God when I was doing my degree there were so many self-imporant assholes on there.
'Sounds like homework' they used to say. Yeah, idiot, that's why I'm here asking questions about it. Good riddance.
Then there's reddit...
"Why are you asking such a stupid question?"
"RTFM."
"You're doing it all wrong. I'm not going to tell you how or why, nor give you guidance on what I mean...I'm just going to tell you to GTFO and never try again."
"Did you ever get this to work?"
"Bump."
"Why are you bumping a week old thread?"
And the great one: "Just use this completely different framework that is untested, misses half the features and is developed by a psychotic lunatic that added a self destruct line in it just to fight <insert current thing>"
tbf that behavior goes back decades - people would do that on IRC or usenet
Yeah but they couldn't close threads to prevent discussion. Most they could do is threaten to ban you from the channel if you didn't stop talking about something.
The problem with SO and Reddit is the empowered assholes prevent the non-assholes from having their conversations anyway.
True
Pretty much horrible when shitholes got a cheap and easy way to get access to the rest of the world.
The only "sub" I used there was Superuser and it was to ask questions on fixing my own damn computer because I was stumped.
