I don't think the UX is ultimately relevant to what the person I was responding to was saying. They were distinctly talking about the content, and specifically the content "before Lemmy", of which I have no familiarity, as I did not use Reddit at that time.
As someone who's been here since before the reddit exodus in June, it's hard for me to agree with this. We've had someone of an Eternal September, but the community is based on FLOSS advocates and communities.
"The importance of keeping discussion boards to their topics comes from reddit" doesn't really make sense and is non-sequitur, but even if I accept it, whether reddit did it or not is irrelevant. Communities here are often run and managed distinctly from how Reddit is. And as the person I was responding to pointed out and you conceded, this post actually came from Reddit anyways, so it's a moot point.
I'm glad we agree on this. My relation to reddit is largely irrelevant to this discussion, and only relevant insofar as to my familiarity with a particular era of reddit the person I was responding to wanted to see return.
It'd be pretty funny if you threw in some pictures tbh.
