Quoth Matt:
>I see. Now that I look at it, 9fans its more similar to 9front than 
>Plan 9 indeed. My confusion arose from the description being "Fans of 
>the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs". Besides that, the subreddit is r/plan9, 
>and people seem to talk more often about Plan 9 itself than 9front. 
>Thanks for clearing it up.

The subreddit, except there is no “the subreddit”.  Just another place 
where people who don’t know Plan 9 ask people who don’t know Plan 9 
about whatever they currently think Plan 9 is.

In the wild, I see more people talking about plan9port than about Plan 9.
