    I wish they would have chosen to use software to maintain threading in comments and I’m not sure that Discourse really gamifies it’s posts. After a quick look at the interface of myBB, I can say that I personally prefer Discourse. But I think non-accelrated-time-decaing forums are way better than Reddit for things like a project hub. I think what I liked about having many of my interests in on Reddit was the context switch for a topic often didn’t require a context switch in interface to benefit from the network effect of many people participating in the topic.

    But at the end of the day, knowing where to get quality assistance and casual discussion about a topic or project is all I’m after. Reddit has been a place to find what I was after, oftentimes as a signpost to find where people are gathering. And now the threadiverse is providing that function much better and sooner than I expected despite its many shortcomings.

      I’ve always wondered why people DON’T choose discourse. It just works and looks great.

        It looks “different” is probably the biggest reason. But I don’t particularly like the way they do threads
