I love it. There's always been bigotry - racism, religious wars, sexism - but now we have sitism.
The Redditors denigrate the Diggers, the HN people hate on the Redditors, though I think it's safe to say that the readers of Digg haven't heard of either ;)
It is in fact sitism, since this is a word I just invented, and therefore dictate the meaning of.
I mean, I totally agree that on average, a user of reddit is less intelligent than a user of HN, and a user of Digg is less intelligent than a user of Reddit. But that's just a function of traffic - the more traffic you have, the more the average sinks. The earliest example on the web is probably when AOL users got unleashed on usenet.
The only thing is, while the average intelligence goes down, the maximum intelligence goes up. Reddit's top 10 smartest people are probably smarter than HN's.
Just because you're a user of Reddit, doesn't mean you're not a sitist. Black people are racist towards black people too.
