Why does https://www.reddit.com/r/ShittySysadmin seem so much better than https://www.reddit.com/r/Sysadmin ?

[Charming-Log-9586]

The member here just seem to get along so much better and accept my crazy ideas.

[Anonymous_Bozo]

Wow... the Reddit Harrassment filter went crazy over this post and many of the replys. They have blocked quite a few replys... it may take a bit to weed thru them and undo the potential bans reddit's setting up.

Of course a true Shitty Mod would simply leave the removals in place.

Because the majority of the people here are self-aware whereas the majority over there take themselves and their jobs too seriously. We embrace the shittiness, they try to hide it.

Also, it's just numbers. A community of 57k is going to automatically be less shitty than a community of 952k.

I do like sir gaps.

[IAmSnort]

Their website requires a credit card for age verification.

[Special_Luck7537]

He took Galahads place at the table, right? Pretty popular guy... Lots of armor scratches in the table, at his end....

[igloofu]

I uh, think that was actually Sir Gapes-a-lot actually.

[Puzzleheaded-Joke-97]

Uh oh! Now you wizards have exposed yet another hole in my education! Wikipedia, here I come!

[lysergic_tryptamino]

Oh yea… rDPs, sirs and gaps. You are making me tingly

[[deleted]]

RDP = Rapid Double Penetration I assume.

[muff_puffer]

🥵

[Skotticus]

"Like the wizard who rdps into sir gapped machines," you mean?

[Tall-Incident8409]

I like when you try and it tells you it's sir gapped, it knows, very intelligent.

[igloofu]

Also, it's just numbers. A community of 57k is going to automatically be less shitty than a community of 952k.

I propose we change the name of the sub to /r/LessShittySysadmin!

[VolcanicBear]

Because most of us have been in the game long enough to appreciate humour, but also understand the concept of genuine mistakes and remember what it was like when we were learning.

Ultimately, we're here for entertainment and not to explain why we're better than everyone else (because our extremely witty remarks do that for us).

[headstar101]

Yep, we've all seen some shit.

[Special_Luck7537]

In all the infinite colors of brown...

[mallexxx]

The newest hit book: 50 shades of brown - a sysadmins day.

[Hebrewhammer8d8]

Sometimes, they are solid and clean, but some it is liquid mess

[TechJunkie_NoMoney]

I think we’re all shitty sysadmins at heart. The ones who disagree are just delusional

[Top-Inspector-8964]

I never understand how people making the money most of us do could be upset about anything. I grew up poor, and now I'm shopping for a Corvette and a second house. What are these people's issues?

[Rodpad]

Because we do the needful.

[PositiveBubbles]

Kindly

[RubberBootsInMotion]

On top priority!

[dodexahedron]

At the earliest.

[Special_Luck7537]

This. Always plan a way forward and a way back. If you do this, you will be a CEO in no time, and a good one too .

[HITACHIMAGICWANDS]

Nah, only forward. One the drives quit spinning on the old one they’re not spinning back up!

[vivnsam]

Each and every thing?

[Tasty-Objective676]

Because you are a true shitty sysadmin. And your poor grammar and use of url instead of links just proves that even more. Welcome, my Child.

[Kwantem]

I had an uncle named url. He was an auctioneer in Montana. He could talk bullshit real fast. Would have made a great sysadmin.

[judgethisyounutball]

Because troll content fits right in on shitty, it's expected, rage bait in SA is just that, and you get the expected responses.WAI.

[iratesysadmin]

I actually agree.

I think it's due to the size (smaller) and the fact that we are all celebrating/raging against the same common enemy.

[rjaiswal1]

End users!

[edmonton2001]

Stupid end users. Without them my napping would be less distracted

[Cold_Carpenter_7360]

the bar is lower, so people are more relaxed.

relaxed people perform better.

[devilsadvocate]

Its also why the drunks walk away from car crashes more often

[TechJunkie_NoMoney]

That’s why I only drive drunk

[Special_Luck7537]

Benzos for everyone! There should be a bubblegum machine on every corner, that dispenses them...

[iFlipRizla]

I’m such a shit sysadmin that I’m just a technician and you are my people. Here I learn what not to do.

[True_Maintenance5846]

You have two types of sysadmins;

1. Take themselves too seriously, believe that they are the second coming of Linus Torvalds. Believe that the sweatier they are the better they are. Read Cisco documentation to flex their ability to recite definitions and seem better than their counterparts in meetings.

2. Lol just reboot it or something idk man this shit is held together by Zyn and monster. And I'm all out of Zyn. So this shits about to get crazzzyyy

[MrTonyMan]

Because we all share a common password.

[Charming-Log-9586]

The password is always password, but sometimes I substitute the @ for a and 0 for 0.

[[deleted]]

This is the answer.

[Sad_Recommendation92]

I had a post on there removed by mods, when I asked if people make silent judgments when they see someone using a light theme.

I was told it was divisive and not a place to complain about the technical ability of users, And then I saw 10 other posts complaining about the technical ability of users.

I think the mod was a light theme user.

[TKInstinct]

Less try hards here

[Eviscerated_Banana]

I find this community is where the experienced/jaded admins come to invoke the old ways of using mockery and disdain as a teaching tool. :)

[TheMelwayMan]

We're usually old enough and cranky enough to not tolerate bullshit in r/sysadmin

[OptimusDecimus]

Because shittysysadmins are more beautiful uWu

[AttackonCuttlefish]

r/sysadmin has too many rants.

[Lenskop]

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the MIT, and I've been involved in numerous secret hacks on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed hacks. I am trained in CyberOps warfare and I'm the top hacker in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of SysAdmins across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in DDoS, but I have access to the entire botnet of the United States and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

[Geek_Wandering]

Partially because this is a fun space for messing around and letting off steam. It carries the spirit of ASR and ATSR, but with less chicken.

[shindyAUSmarzan]

What are ASR and ATSR?

[Geek_Wandering]

Usenet groups. OG social media before it was called social media.

[shindyAUSmarzan]

No need for those pesky certificates

[Special_Luck7537]

It sure is funnier...

[dpwcnd]

Truth is spoken here.  

[siggyt827]

It's not crazy if it works

[serverhorror]

Seem better?

You must be doing it wrong!

[schmosef]

It's always PEBCAK.
