    Yeah, but reclaiming “sub” would just be an example of language being dynamic. Unless someone is calling the communities “subreddits” I don’t think there should be this divisive issue about it.

    Use sub if you want, or not if you dislike the term.

      Yeah I’m not telling anybody they can’t do it. I’m just positing my theory why we moved so quickly away from the old term.

        Sorry, my reply was more directed at the original commenter, but that would make sense.
