    there’s no persistence or community.

    That’s it right there, that’s what you are missing. The older forum communities were small enough that you could keep track of whose who, something that isn’t possible when the user counts are in the tens of thousands to tens of millions. I think a lot of us olds would like to go back to that but its impossible; our monkey brains can’t handle communities of that size.

      I feel a fundamental problem is the ephemeral post model. If one isn’t actively contributing frequently it’s effectively the same as not being part of the community at all.

      Seeing lots of familiar faces in threads, even if they didn’t post today, helped.

      With regards to your point though, I think it’s one of the reasons I’m not fussed about getting “everyone” onto a single platform. It’s too many people!
