"D1. Taken from the sports term D1 athlete or Division I athlete. It is added in front of a noun to say that someone is at the peak epitome of that noun. Dude, Charles is fucking hating on Pragmata. What, the game just came out. What do you mean he's already hating on it? Man, I don't know. Charles hates fucking everything. Dude's a D1 hater."
What it means
D1 comes straight from Division I sports in the US, where the top college athletes play. Online, people slap it in front of a noun to say someone's absolutely elite at that exact thing, usually half joking, half roasting. So a D1 hater, D1 yapper, or D1 lurker is somebody putting up championship numbers in that lane.
Usage examples
"Bro started doomposting about the album before midnight even hit. Man is a D1 hater, give him a cape and a thunderstorm already."
"She replies to every group text within three seconds, day or night, an absolute D1 texter with no off switch."
"You watched one ten-second clip and wrote a full essay in the comments. That's D1 hating, brother."
"He lost one game and started pacing round the room like the season was over. Proper D1 crashout behaviour."
"You clocked one typo and turned into a full D1 grammar cop in the replies. Give it a rest, man."

Where it comes from
It comes from NCAA Division I, the top level of college sports in the United States. D1 already meant high-level athlete, then internet slang nicked it and stretched it out. Now people stick it before nouns to mean someone's absurdly elite at a habit, trait, or bit, whether they're praising them or cooking them.
