Forums were so good. They got murdered by facebook. I swear a lot of people don't really know what the internet is. I was dating a girl once who was mind blown that I don't have social media. Like every time it came up, he world was shook again. One day i was waiting for her to be ready and i was browsing the internet. She looked at me and wondered what i was doing. Like what could someone possibly look at if it's not social media?
I think Reddit killed forums more than Facebook did.
im mean technically lemmy counts as social media i guess since it's a feed but it's the closest things we have to an old school forum. Just idea that you care so much about a topic you create a site to talk about it was powerful. People don't realize it's a big difference between a land grab for subreddits or even communities on here and running a server. startrek.website is the closest thing since they have very focused communities.
It's like match making and running a gaming sever back in the day. it was this weird hybrid of a public game and playing with friends. there was a TFC server i played with the same people and along with them but never knew them or joined a clan in mechwarrior 2 and would battle other clans i never knew any of them outside this one thing. It was a natural filter for jerks and cheaters. now it's ether play with friends or play alone.
