>>52438862>>52439030>>52439286Its not the moderation, its the fact that 4chan is a discussion forum(forma imageboard) while reddit is a glorified comment section and Discord is new age Skype/Teamspeak.
In a classic forum, you would start a thread in one of the sub-categories, circlejerk with your forum friends, give each other karma and maybe talk about something until you all abandoned the thread for the next relevant topic.
On an imageboard, you start a thread on a designated board, you shitpost with your anonimous friends, give each other (You)s and maybe talk about something until the thread either autosages or gets pushed of the catalog
On plebbit, you post an image/video/blogpost, farm upboats from people scrolling through a niche subreddit while people in the comments try farming their own upboats and any discussion gets relegated to a hidden reply chain that after a certain level requires you to leave the main thread and go to a subthread dedicated to that particular branch of the discussion. Do redditors not see a problem with this? Do they think updooting fixes this insanity?
Twitter is similar to reddit, but at least you can post an image with your reply, unlike redditors who made imgur just so they had a centralized place to link to when they did. Holy fuck.
On a discord you can chat with people, but the discussion has to happen now, in the moment, because unless it is a small group, after an hour or two the discussion will have long moved on to something else, versus forums and imageboards where a topic can in theory be discussed for months if not years, until there is nothing left to say or show.
Compared to a tradition forum, imageboards have the benefit of being hop-on-hop-off with no baggage attached, unless you want to be known for your previously garbage posts, in which case you can become a tripfag(Though tripfags seem to have died as species, /vt/ seems like a board that should be flooded with them but I can not recall a single """noteworthy""" one.
