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

More centralization and regulation of information and communication for subjugation, alienation and monetization. Keep hope alive.

Being honest forums have been dying for a decade plus.

It's a shame because they are a far better format for actual discussion than reddit and far far better than social media.

I'm 50/50 on it. I prefer message boards like thecoli because it's fewer users and you get to know the different users and personalities. But I think Reddit has it's place for discussing more niche topics like TV shows or individual artists where people go more in depth and can find more people doing deep dives on them.

As long as the goat site TheColi remains I'm indifferent

Both are awful imo, like Reddit does has its use, you can find answers to shyt, its great to find streams, torrent sites, hacked apps etc, but as a social plataform to have conversations about a topic is awful imo.

Discord is just shyt for me, its the same as IRC back in the day, a bunch of people talking at the same time, awful for discussion, my friends use it for online play but I barely play online and when I do I just call them on whatsapp, they hate it but at the end of the day is the exact same shyt as calling them on discord.

Yup. Everytime I try discord I quickly give it up. It's only useful for really small groups to communicate at which point why not just have a group chat on the cell phone.

Anonymity is what makes forums interesting. No followers, no superficial projection, a lesser hive -mind. The person on the other side of the screen could be anyone. Only things that differentiates is your posts.​

Nikkas say anything on forums… cause their social identity isn’t linked to it…

Some of the reddits are cool like I've told y'all in the other thread. It's mostly reddit and Twitter where the majority of hip hop discussions be.

Have you noticed people who post on forums are 30+.
The younger generation are not using it

I still prefer forums to this day. I've been on them since I was 13-14 years old. Shoutouts to RealRapTalk and RapGodFathers in the mid-late 2000s.
