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

I agree with the previous comments: forums are hard to manage because of trolls, hackers and lack of dedicated resources ... The main responsible being, before reddit and discord, the ugly social networks mainly facebook. I hope this company will crumble ...

forums tend to be more restrictive in certain subject. i was in a health type forum, where i was not allow to mention the word black people, or african american, because they its racist trolling, when its really not.
