I always think of it as being halfway between those and more traditional forums (PHPBB, discourse, etc).

I thought of it that way too when I was onboarding into it.

When introducing new people to it, I like the topics to email threads, as they also have a subject line and replies.

It also gels with the "inbox" part of Zulip's UI.
