    I think the only real difference between old school forums and link aggregator forums in practice is that forums tended to be more niche and have smaller tight nit communities while reddit is a big tent of toxicity.

        while true, the gamification is no less possible on a bulletin board just less likely to occur on a smaller site.

          Most forums don't have karma/upvotes attached to everything (AFAIK)

          I miss the internet before every little page, comment, etc. had a like button

        This is the case with every new technology, the early culture is always dominated by the techbro early adopters. Reddit itself is a notable example.

        I hope lemmy can evolve from this state but I think it probably needs a dig exodus like event to break through.
