I’ll start:

  • RSS and blogs, news vs. social media
  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat
  • IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc.
  • Forums vs. Social media, Reddit, Lemmy(?)

    The old style forums were great, but popular threads were pretty horrible to try and navigate. I’m sure we’ve all fallen victim to searching for important information in a forum thread with 750 pages. The Reddit-style collapsing comment tree is so much more manageable and allows for natural subtopics and conversion tangents to take place without derailing everyone else’s discussion.
