Phlisg25167yCongrats :D
Yeah 100k is massive... He must earn hundreds of not thousands ++ per day considering his presence -
Jon Skeet hit 1M on stackoverflow last week, and now this.
And I'm just sitting there ... watching my ++ go up. Hahaha. Not -

aaxa22217yI'm sorry, I actually came here to ruin the fun. I seriously don't know if and who I should congratulate here.
Has it been a competition this whole time? I mean, I love @linuxxx rants, but congratulating for reaching 100k seems kind of... Idk... Weird? It's not that I'm not thankful for the contributions to the community, but I mean, I really hope that people are not on this platform for the ++'s? I'm certainly not.
Instead of congratulating, I'd like to say thanks instead @linuxxx, for all the cool contributions. I love reading your content! -
@aaxa I personally don't see the upvotes as 'the upvotes' but as a way of showing someone that you like their content and presence.
I find it very awesome to have reached this point. I'm certainly not all about the upvotes but yeah of course i like it when people show that they like my content by upvoting it.
So yeah I'm very proud of this achievement and i think it's something worth celebrating and 'announcing' like this :)
Anyways, thanks for your kind words! -
@aaxa
Linuxxx deserves the congratulations. People don't care about the ++ count as a mere number. What makes it worthy of congratulations is the dedication he puts into devRant.
I sounds like you're a bit jealous. Just so you know, you also have a high ++ count, so don't allow jealousy to consume you. :) -
dfox426037y@aaxa we’ve been congratulating people on significant milestones since the first month devRant was launched.
Edit: and I certainly agree ++ are not that important, but a tradition is a tradition and it’s something we’ve always done. -
jakobev23957yand thats why i like the ++ method instead of "like or dislike", like the whole social media does.

aaxa22217y@Michelle I think you misunderstood my intentions with my comment. I'm not jealous at all! I'm not contributing nearly as much as linuxxx, and I certainly don't deserve his ++ count.
@dfox alright, I wasn't aware of this. I wasn't referring specifically to your post, but I saw some comments earlier about buying ++ count to unlock stuff in the avatar maker. If that's the image people are getting from the ++'s, I'd rather get rid of them being public tbh. Because, if this is going to be a platform to get fame and not do honest and original contributions, then it's just 9gag all over again (all those reposts of memes - MY EYES!!!)
Don't get me wrong, it's not because I don't like devRant, I'm quite happy to be here and I'm just trying to be a bit critical about the views of people here. It's nothing personal against any of you at all. -
@aaxa I'm proud of the amount of upvotes I have though.
And that's because i got them for being myself. Irl everyone sees me as a paranoid guy, no girls due to not participating in the world of whatsapp/fb/snap/insta, literally people not wanting to talk to me for my views on certain things...
I thought that I'd be alone in that for about my whole life but being myself on here has made me this 'popular'. Hell, that security blog is something I've wanted to do for ages but people always advices against it. Here i actually get support for the shit i stand for! -
@Floydian techincally we do have @RandomQuote but aside from that i have to agree with you.
