You set up a discord account once. When you want to join a project discord all you have to do is click the invite link and hit „accept“. Bam. Done. No need to join a forum. No need to keep track of another website and check if you got a personal message from someone or something. The benefit is that it is all one location.

    Discourse, NodeBB and Flarum are all currently working on ActivityPub federation support. The first two have some basic support already available.

    Edit: I read "decentralized". The "centralized" system for forums is obviously Reddit.

    This makes me wonder if there is a centralized system for forums.

    Is this not what Lemmy is, to a certain extent?
