On a forum you can judge other people’s opinions of your contributions by the karma (or the equivalent) of your posts, and by their comments. Of course there’s a risk that people on some forum liking your posts might represent groupthink instead of genuine intellectual progress, but the same risk exists with academic peer review, and one simply has to keep this risk/uncertainty in mind.
