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

Every forum I used before Reddit even existed is still active (hell, PHPBB was updated as recently as November!) and new platforms, like Lemmy, pop up all the time . IDK what the fuck these articles are talking about. Maybe they just don't know how to actually find anything on the web? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
I think it's more about the scale. 80% or more of the content gets created on Reddit or alike, probably.
Barely any content is created on Reddit. It's an aggregate site where 90% of the posts are links to other sites, just like Lemmy. Even most of the memes/image macros are unoriginal and taken from somewhere else.
I have to disagree. I have seen a lot of helpful question/answer Style content there which was only there.
