Who gets so weirdly defensive and territorial over a website? Not even their own one at that? I loved spending time on Reddit but I can't imagine finding other website and deliberately trying to make them a shittier place because I like Reddit.

People do this for just about anything, unfortunately. Review bombing video games that compete with their favorite game, vandalizing things in the colors of the sports team that's playing against their favorite team, and so on. From the most insignificant internet fandom squabble to genocide. Our brains love tribalism, and if we don't have strong principles of cooperation and peace, it always seems to crop up.
