View submission: Reddit now supports comments
Have you read slashdot lately? There are no comments on the front-page there either but their tone and idocy seeps through so even the real news stories are presented to a 4th grade reading level. And yes, I am a snob. I like reddit's emphasis on technical matters and programming but it not going to last long now. I guess it's the price of popularity. I wonder how long it'll be before there's some social networking options, "mckirkus has submitted links similar yours would you like to ask this person on a date?"

First, your claim that Slashdot presents stories to a fourth grade reading level is simply irrelevant. As opposed to Slashdot, all Reddit has no front page commentary whatsoever. If you don't want to see the "idocy" of all of the unwashed masses far beneath your pedestal, just don't click on "comments".
Second, this site is quite clearly not intended as a programming/tech specific site. It's quite clearly not intended as an *anything* specific site. If you love its degree of emphasis on programming and so forth, it should be quite simple for you to implement a similar site with a specific emphasis. Reddit's functionality is not complicated, and as you are a programming and tech "snob" far above our "idocy", you should have no trouble duplicating it.

First off, you spelled idiocy wrong. Second, this site has always been as world oriented as it has been technical/programming oriented. Take this mix or leave it because this site doesn't revolve around your needs.
