Reddit-style? Why would you say reddit style, and not facebook-style, mastodon-style, or bluesky-style? At least Reddit is arranded thematically, and Twitter is arranged around individuals; this is quite a significant difference.

Because the two styles are reddit style and bulletinBB style in my head. Those other three you mentioned are reddit style, too.

Interesting. To me, reddit is much closer to bulletinBB (as I remember from phpBB) than twitter. Reddit is like Hacker News in that regard.

What makes the reddit style more similar to Twitter than to bulletin board, in your mind? And do we have a modern example of the bulletinBB style since phpBB?

The main difference, in my mind, is that you reply directly to people vs posts are in one direct stream.

Hacker news is reddit style, too (by far the closest of those listed). Somethingawful is an example of a BulletinBB style board in 2026.
