You are on a social media app right now. Why don't people seem to understand this? Maybe what has changed is that everybody on the internet is just a moron nowadays?

No personalized feed, no "friending", no statuses, no social network.

If every forum qualifies, you're using the term so broadly that it's useless. That's what everyone else understands, which is making it seem to you like they're missing something you see. They're not.

But upvotes/downvotes, karma, and a non-chronological feed (both for submissions and for comments in threads). Those already do some damage.

> a non-chronological feed

For comments that's mostly a consequence of a tree-based commenting model, whose huge benefits over linear model more than offset any "damage" caused by it not being strictly chronological.
