This is useless. Why don't you start a community for google searches?

    I didn't start it.

    I joined it, and linked it, because I liked getting my xkcd's in my reddit feed from r/xkcd, because that meant there were comments to engage with. How the fuck is that useless? Why the animosity?

    Like actually, how is the mere mention of a community enough for you to turn mean?

    Edit: Wow. You're an instance admin. Is this how you conduct yourself? Do you go deleting communities created by users on your instance, if you don't personally see value in them?

    Sorry to have been so mean. I simply think starving a website of visits is not great.

    Do you go deleting communities created by users on your instance, if you don’t personally see value in them?

    That is one hell of a jump to conclusions.

    An intentionally huge jump, in order to illustrate why your take was bad by extending it to a similar but more clearly wrong action. If your opinion led to you acting this way in this case, would the same opinion lead to this other thing? Both actions are wrong for the same reasons, just different in magnitude.

    Additionally, if you'd bothered to check that community, the posts link to Randall's actual site. You still have to visit it. This was how r/xkcd did it too. No-one is posting just the image files.
