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.

I'm not convinced at least half of those communities trust Reddit and Discord enough to leave forums, but then again I stopped using them mostly because I haven't had time for those hobbies. My emulation groups are still active on forums, at least.

a lot of them died because they never bring in new people and people leave for a variety of reasons.
