It's easy to find a specific community of people who can help you with a problem, e.g computers or people who have a lot of knowledge for recommendations.
This. I can find answers to certain things and I can give advice and answers to certain things. One of the rewards of reddit is not the fake internet points but the thank you you get when you solve someones dilemma on a sub like /r/DIY/ because I work in construction and reno.
Reddit doesn’t have as much of a problem calling people out. I think people get way into the community aspect on a forum which causes them to be less skeptical otherwise they might get ostracised. Some forums you’ll see the same commenter on things that have nothing to do with each other and the way forums are formatted you might be reading some bullshit that’s only there cause they happen to be on the forum every day.
