Redditor

Online community member

A Redditor is a user of Reddit, the social media platform organized around topic-based communities called subreddits.

The term carries connotations of the site's culture—lengthy comment threads, in-jokes, strong opinions, and a particular style of discourse: The Redditors in that thread were actually helpful for once.

Sometimes used self-deprecatingly or as mild criticism of someone who argues like they're posting online.
