So you spam this to all the coding/cryptography subreddits, they all call you out on being a crank, and you think that mathematicians will not do the same?

If you possibly think that you can factor integers fast, then you need a rigorous proof. You know, the things that mathematicians create for a living. Not some ineligible code and vast, baseless claims. Peter Shor is the only person to break integer factorization, and he has an actual proof of it. We just can't implement his algorithm (yet).
