Why do people often say users come "from" places? How

Ancient tribal instinct.

Keeping site culture separate makes each site unique and interesting. No one wants every site to look and act the exact same, because then it would get boring after a while and people who didn't fit in with the culture wouldn't have anywhere to go.

>Why do people often say users come "from" places? How does one come from a particular website?
In my mind, being "from" a website is having used a website regularly before coming to this one, and bringing culture from that site over. It's just like being "from Poland" or whatever.

Well of course people don't want every website to be the same, but that's really what I was getting at. Or rather, to say, is it not standard practice to visit various different websites on a regular basis precisely because they're different and unique in their own ways?

Sure it is, but unless you are bringing over a meme or something from another website, no one will ever call you out on being "from" there in the first place.

I don't have an opinion on this
