upboat

The act of giving credit to a circlejerker for his or her contribution to the reddit community.

Derived from the Upvote function used in the online discussion board Reddit, this derogatory term is used to ridicule others for poor posting quality on discussion platforms; or otherwise conducting themselves in an immature fashion and in a manner which may be disruptive towards other users of the website. It is commonly used on the online image-based bulletin board 4chan, as well as other similar websites in which its users may share an aversion towards users of the website Reddit.
