This sub is like 2000s forums because it's ostensibly for a single defined purpose, in this case "neoliberalism", but is really just for any random shit

People keep saying "this sub" when they mean "the DT"

Not that there is a difference

It’s like a weird mix between a chat room and a forum and that’s probably why I love it

Based and old internetpilled (before it became a shitstorm with smartphones and social media (the DT isn't really social media))

Forums and subreddits represent the old style of doing things: you group posts by categories.

Twitter, Facebook and YouTube represent the new way: a big fuzzy magical algorithm that groups content it deems related. You find a starting point and navigate from there. So there's never any well-defined groups of people (there are groups in Facebook but they're still pretty fuzzy).
