Discord, Reddit and Mastodon all feel very different to me. - Discord's dominant model feels like IRC++ to me. Emphasis largely seems to be on real-time conversations. - Reddit is like a slew of mini-Slashdots, where communities have a discussion prompt like a news story, a question, or something and then commentary. - Mastodon is micro-blogging. You post a status update, commentary or question, and people can react and/or reshare. Y Discord and Reddit are topic-based. Mastodon is more about following people than topics, though you can organize Mastodon instances by topic / domain / whatever. Anyway... Mastodon feels more like Twitter, albeit a vision of a better Twitter (for certain values of "better") circa 2017. Longer content, RSS feeds, and federation + the micro blog format.
