Bitch about things, sure, but I’m not gonna join c/KFC and participate in daily circlejerking about how much working at KFC sucked
there were plenty, like exmormom, stopdrinking, etc
Okay but you see how those are different, right? Comparing using reddit to a high-control religion or alcoholism isn’t a bit much?
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
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?
Project what you will and downvote like the redditor you are, but nobody has answered the question.
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
Because why discuss something that’s not in your life anymore, why make/join a community dedicated to something you’re NOT doing anymore?
If you’ve replaced the functionality of reddit in your life, and reddit itself is heading in a direction you don’t approve of, why continue discussing it?
It is interesting to share the impression while watching together the Vesusvius erupting and sealing Pompeii and discussing its last chapter
People said the same thing around the API changes, and it seems more like being bitterly obsessed with an ex. Would I love to see the downfall of any major social media site? Sure, but that’s different than being part of a community that is constantly discussing a website you used to go to.
why would you leave reddit just to talk about reddit
Because I find it odd to find reddit on my frontpage multiple days a week when I was glad to leave it and associated behavior behind.
You’re not understanding at all, I don’t know how you interpreted my words to mean that I am merely impatient.
