Hate juggling accounts to be part of communities , some forums (have strict rules|ban VPNs|.*) . There’s reason they’ve been succeeded by (subreddits|discord servers|.*)
Oh, I preferred that. There was much less pressure to conform. All fora had their own “personality”, in a way. Small little islands inhabited by people having fun in their own ways.
As far as I can tell, not really no except for the weird insular communist ones. What’s the difference in personality between lemmy.ca and sh.itjust.works?
Hard disagree. I much prefer forums and still am a member of some. The only thing reddit really had going was how broad and easy-to-create it was. It allowed for non-technical people to make cool, niche forums and people to find and participate.
I miss forums. If I went to a specific car forum, that’s what discussion would be about. No random assholes bringing politics into every conversation. No trolls or people just there to make a joke for upvotes.
While not technicly gone outright , forums

we need to go back to forums
Isn’t this true for Lemmy instances to an extent?

More military shitposting memes on sh.itjust.works? It’s why I signed up there.
Discord is so much worse than forums though. Lemmy/reddit are better than every website having their own forums though.

Yeah, no, I really miss the forums days.
In general I miss the pre “just a couple of sites for everything” internet.
And I mean, there’s a reason that Discord added a “forum” channel type
