> lots of people hate on Stack Exchange

count me as one of those.

Of all the popular social networks, SE has by far the highest percentage of annoying little pedants. They must recruit their users exclusively from dungeon masters of online D&D games and fired Reddit mods.

Just how bad does a Reddit mod have to be in order to get fired?

I've seen people here boast about how they overthrew mods in certain subreddits. I don't know how they pulled that off -- maybe one of them can tell us?

typically they get arrested irl before there is any consideration of firing

SE isn't a social network. Trying to "socialize" on SE is like trying to start conversations with random strangers on the New York City Subway. That's just not what it's for.

Thanks for illustrating my point.
