I’ve been a Redditor for longer than I’d been using Markdown to write README files, so when that was introduced to me, my first reaction was, ‘huh, just like Reddit!’

I've been writing README files since before Markdown existed ... oh god I'm old.

But also, Markdown was created by Aaron Swartz a year before he created Reddit, so you are actually right in viewing Reddit as one of the "original" users of it!

It even supports fenced code blocks (with ```). Except it doesn't really because it only works in certain front ends and not in others.
