Of the two, only discord actually really needs javascript to work as intended on a browser. Reddit, though? It's still a static web forum, you don't lose much browsing old.reddit instead of www.reddit.

Besides, I never argued those two are not "rich web applications", my point was that "static web content looks dated" wasn't the main driver for people to move into centralized platforms.
