Why isn't reddit considered a forum? It has posts and replies. Use old.reddit.com for a more traditional experience and I don't see why you need something els

  Yeah, you can count on old.reddit.com sticking around. What are they going to do, deprecate it in favor of some new dark-pattern-filled UI?

  I'm a bit annoyed that some subreddits are pushing their Discord servers. I think Reddit is a great forum but Discord definitely isn't..

    Discord has the same problem as IRC, although the latter at least might have provides logs. But Discord content is not discoverable because it cannot be crawled. A lot of good info is hidden behind a proprietary wall.

  It/its users have become focused on a live feed pattern. Posts might become popular for a day or so, but after that nobody pays any attention to them. Search sucks, and categorizing posts with flair seems pretty futile. The way voting is tied to post/comment visibility means that most subreddits, if not all once sufficiently large, devolve into corrupt ideological cliques, and anyone outside of them will essentially be invisible. Some subreddits are exceptions, but I think those may just be the ones that are so small they're essentially ghost towns.
