We used to have forums and blogs organised by interest topic or community. An elegant mode of organisation, for a more civilised age.

- notafraudster 6y agoI mean, reddit and Discord are still this. They both graft on cross-community navigation and account systems for user convenience and increasing user retention.
- dogfoods 6y agoNo, they are not. Reddit (and even more so Discord) does not have the permanence that forums have and far worse tools for formatting posts, so every subreddit degenerates into 101 questions, circlejerking, and meme shit. There's no way to contain that like you can on a forum. Cross-community navigation is an anti-feature and harmful.
