I have a feeling good things get "improved" upon but I never really saw what it brought.

What I do like about reddit. It is still one place where you just use an email address and nick name. So you can be anonymous. Or reasonable anonymous. No one looking back 10 years back into your posts to cancel you for something you said that in that time maybe was not an issue.

I was so reluctant making a Facebook account back in the day because they wanted your REAL identity. Man I was a nickname on irc or on the internet in general. That was what I loved about it.

Usenet was the same you could just use throw away email account and just say whatever. Ask whatever without being scared.

Reddit is the only place where you still can do that.
