Actually Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram are all, by definition and set-up,
FORUMS. So you may not know what you are using, but they are forums.
As of 2020:
Facebook had 1.69 billion users
Instagram had 1.0 billion users
Reddit had 330 million active users
forums have not been abandoned at all, people have just forgotten what they are and think what they are posting to are something else.
Sort of like saying, "I don't have a dog, but I do have a Pug."
Twitter, Snapchat, and Pintrest are not forums by definition. The first two are messaging applications and the last is a billboard service. All that leaves are feeds and static pages to round out what you encounter on-line.
