I’ll start: RSS and blogs, news vs. social media XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc. Forums vs. Social media, Reddit, Lemmy(?)
minus-squaremim@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAgree on RSS. Don’t have enough experience with XMPP. IRC is not a secure protocol, I think matrix takes the cake there. (although I really miss IRC) Lemmy and Reddit do have an upvote feature and aggregation across different topics / communites, which I think it’s what old school forums lacked.
