What’s with the semi-nationalist culture that’s built up there recently? I mean, you identify yourself as a redditor as opposed to a frequent visitor, so maybe you can explain. When the site was a lot smaller, I understood the appeal of meeting someone else who also happened to post/lurk. I’d say that’s the way it is with Dopers. But now, people within Reddit’s target market pretty much already know what the site is, and the whole “I’m a redditor” has become far too akin to 4-chan’s /b/tards. Which is sad, because I think Reddit initially drew such a diverse/intelligent following due to its opposition to that sort of culture. And it seems like this is tied to the overuse of stupid inside-joke memes to the point where That Guy everyone knows is walking around wearing shirts with ragefaces and the reddit alien. I feel like this is the path Digg took, but on a much larger scale. Thoughts? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-am-a-redditor-ama/615645.md?page=2)
