> hard for me to envision what the next iteration on Reddit could be

You mention it in your post. It's Discord. We're looping back to IRC. Give forums another 5 years or so

"Discourse" and "Discord" are two different products. One a slack like chat app for gaming, the other is a forum software produced by that guy from stack overflow

Aye, the parent mentioned both. I don't think discourse looks much like IRC but to confirm I did mean to type discord, the voice chatty one.

Forums (Discourse) are probably next up when we remember forums have great SEO benefits and discord none

discord and twitter, everything is just a messy ocean of piss imo, discord is not an iteration on reddit, maybe some people prefer discord to reddit but it is far from a replacement. It's a big JS-heavy chatroom (almost like new reddit...).
