I don’t really do reddit
Following an interesting-looking link from someone’s blog / tweet / don’t remember led me to the Python section on reddit. Where I was surprised to find a link to my recent print/print() post with some comments. Now, apart from the occasional glance I don’t follow reddit. It looks like an interesting place, but frankly my time is already over-committed and I just know I’ll get drawn into discussing something or helping someone out. So I stay away.
The only drawback to this approach is that people are commenting on a post I made (and which someone else submitted to reddit) without my being aware that the discussing is taking place, and without my being able to engage in that discussion. Which is a shame. But probably for the best :)

I use Disqus for my commenting system because it keeps track of things like this for me. It will show me when I get comments on Reddit or Twitter and several others as well. I think I can even respond through Disqus as well. Is that a good thing? I’m not too sure, but it’s fun to see how wide my readership is.
