Hopefully the whole thing implodes and we go back to specific message boards. HN would hardly be better if random people mostly interested in cooking or martial arts were putting in their two cents here. I really can't think of any subject that is better on Reddit than it was on an old message forum that was killed off by these giant platforms. Compare any subreddit about psytrance or trance music to the corpse of forum.isratrance.com. It isn't even close. The forum owner is also self interested to not be labeled oppressive. I can't think of any old forum I was ever on that had problems of oppressive moderation. That isratrance forum of course though doesn't scale to a few hundred million people and early investors getting rich. |

I 100% agree. Not just Reddit, but Facebook too. The days of phpBB and vBulletin are sadly over though.
And while I know it’s still around, it’s not the same—I miss slashdot.
