Old web forums were poorly coded and rough around the edges, but maybe we gave up on them too quickly in the social media era.

      This is social media. Not forums.

        Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed, etc, are literally just forums with voting. In fact, even some old PHPbb stuff had voting. If you think forums aren’t social media, I have news for you…
