Agree to all. How would you define the format of what you're reading right now, some derivitive of a forum?

Disagree, politely.. Not in the "OMG INTERNET DISAGREEMENT I HOPE YOUR MOTHER GETS FUCKED BY A HORSE!" way.

Reddit/Lemmy/Etc are nothing more than slightly more elaborate twitter with better filtering/catagorization. Social media all the way down.

But its its not a major issue, so its not like we need to invest time in a slapfight over whose wrong and whose right.

Yes, like people often do on social media.
You didnt have to use your real name on social media until relatively recently, and depending on platform.
Yes, Like I said, filters.
Both are persistent, and both have breaking news
People who want everyone to know their personal updates, post them everywhere.
There is tons of social networking on sites like reddit, Lemmy probably less so. but only because its relatively recent in the zeitgeist.
