I propose this breakdown of the basic software paradigms:
- forum (Usenet, PHPBB, Reddit, YouTube, Discourse)
- blog (Wordpress, Substack)
- microblog (Twitter, Mastodon)
- chatroom (IRC, Slack, Mattermost, Clubhouse if you count audio)
God I hate it when people say “check my Substack”. It’s a blog dammit.
Isn’t this like saying “What phone numbers do you have in your address book?”
