You know that NNTP is a thing, right? It's not like the "chat-like threading" was Reddit's invention.

This is like telling someone installing Sharepoint that they know NFS shares are a thing right? Or a business using Slack that they know IRC is a thing right? Who is claiming Reddit invented it? They have made it approachable...hopefully one day all these people pointing out open alternatives that technically have feature parity will recognize why there's a difference in adoption.
