Forums and blogs are much more organized. These platforms you’ve listed, and here too, are boilers of topics and comments thrown into an ocean full of them.
so why did they slowly died out and these platforms even after so many years are still standing (except lemmy obv)
Forums and blogs were usually targeted towards a fairly specific audience. A sports forum wouldn’t have much content covering computers, for example. Sites like Reddit have subs for all sorts of topics. This makes it easier to attract an audience, and even recommend it to friends who only have a passing interest in your favourite subject, as there’s likely to be somewhere for them to talk about their favourite subject without having to log in to another site.
One detail may be that forums in general have never created apps. Reddit or Discord is standing up to the lazy cell phone users
