Never www.reddit.com/r/csharp again

from the self-post dept.

I am since years a member of the Reddit CSharp community.

The community, unfortunately, is the worst iv ever come across:

1- ) The new contributors, whatever they are you do immediately punished and downvoted!

2) The community lobby consists of Admins and their friends. They are upvoting to each other whatever they do.

3) if you do not belong to this group and you are always posting in this community, te admins banding you: does not matter, you are good or bad.

I do not understand how Microsoft support like those developers?! Finally, .Net is Open-source, but unfotunrelly now we can see how Micorosft ugly from inside!

Happy to be corrected but not sure what Microsoft has to do with the subreddit, I assumed it was run by non-MS related developers.

Either way, I rarely visit that subreddit, not sure why people opt to post programming questions there instead of Stackoverflow.

SO has the same problems, but not bad like CSharp community on Reddit.

That was the main reason why a lot of developers are not posting now in SO.

We could start another forum location as an experiment and see if this is just how these communities evolve. I suspect it’s like a watering hole- the site is a fixed location that some set of people will share. The people will come and go as they please, but some will hang around more, and be encouraging or discouraging to others.

Good point! But they community begin to growth when the developers beginning to encouraging each other and dies when they are beginning to discouraging each ethers.

It has 126,603 subscribers at the moment, I'm not sure how many of those you've interacted with but I've never really had any issues. Then again, like I say, I don't visit often so not much I can add to this post.

Probably nothing to do with Microsoft. Just a community being a community, defining outsiders as well as insiders. (I’m not affiiated. I need to use Java at work, but like C# much better.)

Why java better? I remember java 1.2 with j2ee at that time was sun microsystem alive. I agree with you. You have a better free communities but the language not.
