MODERATORS
I'll easily agree that these platforms are bad, but saying anything "killed" them is very, VERY generous. Reddit and slashdot are very much still a thing, and they don't look like they're slowing down, despite the supposedly insurmountable issues. Keep in mind that the goal of a "social network" (for lack of a better word) is having an audience. Reddit literally shat on its user base, AND on the people that kept the site usable, and communities are still thriving there.
