Usenet use to be great. Predated forums and Reddit. Frankly the threadiverse is just now going a bit back to that concept.

I miss the days when usenet was a standard part of most ISPs included offerings.

Hopefully the fediverse can get wnought traction to grow some vibrant communities like we used to enjoy in heyday of the old newsgroups.
