Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.(www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Edit: thanks to @Xamrica@lemmy.dbzer0.com for this translation alternative: https://translate.kagi.com/translate/https://www.xataka.com/servicios/foros-internet-estan-desapareciendo-porque-ahora-todo-reddit-discord-eso-preocupante

Was this article written 15 years ago? Because this is anything but a new occurrence.

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.
