I miss the decentralized web and phpBB forums. If you didn't like one community, it was super easy to find one you did.

A lot of traditional forums are still active. :)

Just the hype seeking people left to Discord and Reddit to be able to lament about how these new places are awful and crying about phpBB and vbuletin being dead.

  • Traditional forums may not have grown as much as social media, but they’re definitely still alive and vibrant.

    And honestly, higher quality conversations and community than Reddit and discord.
