the things that made forums bad was like the impossibility of moderation but that doesn't even justify the situation today because so are these big sites they are even more impossible to moderate even
There wasn't a impossibility of moderation, they just didn't care. Just look at this place, 10 people do all the moderation, and voilá, at most some random dipshit spams some garbage and it's bannrd in less than five minutes.
Fuck, look at any BIG subreddit, ten randos at best keep those places with thousands of active users well astroturfed and clean from offtopics, then the community always help to keep it that way. You might not like it, but the moderation in reddit works
fair enough, i always thought the sub forum into sub forum dynamic would be kinda of a mess to moderate because it obfuscates a lot but yeah that makes a lot of sense
It can cause the pop up of cancerous places say "r/1488" or shit like that, but if there was at least one (1) dipshit in charge of reviewing subreddits from time to time and culling them at will, the shitstains would disband and form their own dead reddit alternatives after the second or third try. But of course they don't do it cuz they care about the clicks, and hogs love clicking.

moderation isn't hard
you just have to actually do the work instead of taking the position because you like power and then whining about how hard it is forever
