That's what it always appeared to me as-- a constellation of forums with SSO. The fact a new account is so low-cost-- not even email required-- makes it feasible to split your identity as necessary.
I recall in the old days there were a few services that would do hosted forums, but nobody seemed to think "hey, let's combine them under one hood and ebable discovery."

Forums, for reasons we could go into, just never were as compelling to most people as Reddit's solution, though they are good for other things.
