Bring back the old bulletin boards, or forums. Specialized communities driven by a common interest. Not everything needs to be centralised. Reddit is a dumpste

  > Bring back the old bulletin boards, or forums. Specialized communities driven by a common interest That's what Reddit is, just at a central platform, which is easier for most involved with regards to UX (i don't want to have a separate account and notification system for each of my interests), discoverability, etc.

  >it's just meme after pun after stupid comment this really is the case. it's actually quite an interesting social phenomenon. facebook and twitter aren't like that[1], and they have a roughly similar userbase at this point. where did it originate? what UI/UX features promote it? was digg like that too? [1] yes people make jokes, but there isn't the same scramble to make the best pun/chain of puns every time someone makes a post.
