Before Facebook etc, forums were really small and plenty. They might be about a certain topic, but you were there for the few loud people that kept it going. Following them, pretty much. Didn’t like them, you went to another forum of that topic, same deal there.
It’s nothing like the forums today full of new accounts asking one question and moving on.
Lemmy is also not really anything like those forums. The reason why you call Lemmy a forum but Facebook not is more accidental, maybe because of marketing, definitely not because of rigorous definitions.
In any case, @[email protected]’s observation applies to social media, forums, news sites with a comment section and any other site.
