    Why would you come to c/reddit just to ask why someone would talk about reddit

      That’s perfectly reasonable, no? See c/reddit on my frontpage, click and ask why

        Perfectly reasonable for frolicing with smug delight.

          Project what you will and downvote like the redditor you are, but nobody has answered the question.

            Because it’s a topic worth discussing to those interested and it’s just unfortunate that the redditor you are is here.

              It’s really not, an article every now and then when there is something notable, sure, but an entire community with numerous posts a day with enough attention to get on my unrelated feed is not “worth”

              Which is fine, I’m not trying to yuck the yums of anyone, I’m just asking why. Why obsess over a website you used to use?

                People just like to talk about things, especially things they may have some connection to.

                It makes sense to have a place to do that. Otherwise, some wanker would come by and shit in the pool because people are talking about it elsewhere. Probably tell them to go create a sub for it or some shit while they huff their own.

                  I’m familiar with the forces that are behind the creation of new communities, I’m asking why so many people want to talk about a website they have specifically divested from
