I still find that there is no advantage to Reddit over the old forum culture now that the moderation has gone full steam off the cliff into the ocean. If all you are doing on Reddit is barricading yourself into niche subreddits then what is the point of Reddit over forums? On forums you do not have to deal with upvotes/downvotes and the posts are chronologically ordered so you don't have to worry about responding to comments immediately - and discussion can be for as long as you want them to be.
