Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Yeah I remember voicing this concern when all online communities seemed to be going to discord and people seemed to mainly laugh at me in response at the time.
Fuck Discord
How do we get them to switch to something like Element?
Or Matrix?
According to history:
Wait till it’s so enshittified it’s unusable, or…
If it reaches a critical mass… You can't. See: Facebook.
The Fediverse can adopt a few nice communities, but honestly bringing the larger population seems hopeless.
Discord is going public soon, so start the timer...
Discord is scary popular though, like Facebook popular. I am really scared the enshittification will stick hard, like it has for Facebook.
they already forced ads on discord.
RIP D&D campaign's chat service 😬
Yeah, so many projects and companies using Discord for support seemed like such a bad idea.
