Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

    That's the way a lot of hobbies have gone. I know for a fact that I can find a dozen motorcycle rides near me for tomorrow if I went on facebook, while the statewide forum I follow has less than 5 little groups that mostly just meet for a lunch or dinner.

    I don't want to point the finger at any age group, but people 50+ seem to be successfully captured by facebook, Millennials are a mixed bag, and Z is definitely on tiktok and instagram. They all look at me like I'm crazy if I mention a dedicated forum.

    Maybe there are good information, but facebook is just no option. Why would you support meta? Irresponsible behaviour on your part.
