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

MODERATORS
And what can we do about it now? I mean we have the Fediverse. It's 20 million users are not the most but it's not nothing. We can build on that.
I think it's crazy that an art sub is more popular than an art forum.
For news and other more "consumables" I understand, but when posts don't lose value because they age, forums are better IMO :-/
I suppose it's the low barrier. People are already on Reddit and thus join the subreddits.
We have a great opportunity with the Fediverse here to replace them.
