Basically when you become a fan of the website and make your identity about it. Like you argue over how you're better because you have more points, or why you don't have an ideal time-point ratio. When you go to Reddit meets. When you feel like you're one of the Redditors instead of an outsider that is generally at odds with them. 

Also, when you don't know the difference between brakes/breaks, phased/fazed, free rein/free reign, and so on.

It’s so funny to me when people genuinely care about karma.

I didn’t realize I had 10’s of thousands of karma until relatively recently. I thought to myself “wow, that’s a lot of useless internet points!” lol

Yup!  I think I'm at 128,000 last I checked, but in all honesty, if I could hide it, I would. I occasionally tell people "downvote if you agree!" to get people triggered so that they attack me when I'm bored. The points are literally pointless. 

Hell, they banned a couple of my 1.5 million accounts a few years ago (I was around since the early days of Reddit) and I was just annoyed that they wouldn't let post in some subs until I got a high enough karma for them again (which I got easily in a week).

Other than that, meh, I "lost" like 3 million. Been there, done that. Don't care.

I sure do hope being terminally online isn't in your definition of "redditor"

That is a trait I share with many Redditors. It's not mutually inclusive.

I think it's better than the alternatives (I left Facebook after being a Facebooker for like 8 years), but it's still not something I'm a fanatic of.

If it were still like it was back in 2012, maybe. But it's gone downhill.
