Tumblr was never designed with replies in mind, no; some themes let you integrate Disqus for commenting, although I'm not sure how many people even know that, much less take advantage of it.
Medium is basically a blogging platform that pretends it isn't. Well, that's not entirely fair, but it's definitely designed around the notion that you're writing articles/stories on it, more like a magazine column, rather than blog posts. It's a subtle difference but I think it's real.
Facebook definitely gets more right on a technical level than it's usually given credit for, and it's interesting that they have only a fraction of the problem Twitter does with harassment despite having several times as many users. (Of course, they have a problem with spreading fact-free political nonsense at relativistic speeds, but Twitter's got that, too.) But it feels materially different than LJ on a lot of levels.
