You could replace "reddit" with any large online community and it would be applicable.

i don't get the idea of "telling reddit off" like the site is a collective hivemind that you are somehow also not part of despite clearly using the site.
plus, we all say stupid shit every day - we're human. the more we can realize this the better

The point this person misses is that Reddit isn’t a group of friends hanging out in real life somewhere.
It’s an Internet forum. And while it’s full of garbage and shitposts, it has its own idiosyncratic way of dealing with communication separate from other comment sections on the internet. Take YouTube’s comment section - that’s some truly mean and vile and toxic material. So by contrast I’d say Reddit isn’t the worst.
I’m actually pleasantly surprised at how well it brings to the top the most specialized comments where someone who studied or works in a specific esoteric field will contribute helpful info at the right time.

This isn’t even close to being worthy of this subreddit.

It's almost like the means of communication affects how people act.

How is it, if all these autistic people don't know what their doing, that they're supposed to change it? I know that if some asshole just came to me and started yelling at me at what they think I'm doing wrong, I'm not going to give 2 shits at what they say. Very few people would IMO.

This post is a hundred times more annoying than the internet pedantry it's complaining about.

When OP challenged anyone to name a guy or a job where a person is socially incompetent, did anyone else think "the current POTUS"?

One of the great weaknesses of the internet is how you're not forced into a community.
All your interactions are with people who share your interests. They all agree with you (pedantry included).
Meanwhile, you go into the real world with your music in your ears, not even talking to anyone.
You arent forced to deal with the fact that there's only 5 kids in your social circle, so you just have to learn how to get along.
You never generate any social grace, no tolerance, and very little patience, all in an environment where you have no consequences for acting like a dick.
And so you end up being a dick.

Can you imagine hanging out with a group of people, maybe a few long islanders as an example, one of them says "hey, can we check out the top of freedom tower, I've always wanted to go", everyone agreeing and then you say "akctually, it's called 1 world trade center". That would be awkward as shit.
If he thinks that would be awkward, how inept must he be? A well-adjusted person would respond with either "Oh, I didn't know that" or "Yes, but it's also colloquially called Freedom Tower" and the conversation would continue on its merry way.

Redditors are some of the most socially incompetent people I've ever had the displeasure of talking to.
It's worse that. It's everything this user said with pride sprinkled on top. Redditors are proud of being awkward af. They think it's some kind of badge of honour. It's not. It never was and never will be.
Name on profession, or one guy where you can be rich being completely and utterly socially incompetent, I'll wait.
While I can't think of a profession anyone born into money fits.

Reddit likes to circle jerk and make the same tedious joke, even when it's been proven to be wrong.
I'm getting truly sick of it and it makes me leave subreddits even though I'm interested in the topic.
I wish we could try and get the kids to have a place of their own so we can discuss like adults.

On March 26, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) confirmed that the building would be officially known by its legal name of "One World Trade Center", rather than its colloquial name of "Freedom Tower".[16][17] The building is 104 standard floors high, but the tower has only 94 actual stories.
This person is angry about being wrong and then corrected on it. The best response is "yes, I know, I'm using the colloquial name." The worst response is "how dare you correct me".
