There is a word for that: threadjacking
- Dylan16807 7y agoWhen it's a top level comment, I would not use the word threadjacking, and I would not say it's very problematic. Replies need to connect to the comment they reply to. That's not the issue here.

- coldtea 7y agoThere's also another term for it: casual conversation.
