Bring back crappy forums? Why just not continue using all the good forums that we never stopped using?

    They're crappy, because they're not centered in one place, multiple registrations needed, no addictive algorithm.

    I can't tell if you're sarcastic or not. :P

    I meant it as sarcastic, but way too many people I know left the fediverse because of this. Sometimes because they run into obnoxious people, but mostly those.

    Well. I'm honestly surprised that people even go beyond Facebook to be honest. :(

    I'm begging my friends in the leftist IT group on Facebook to at least move to Discord, and they refuse.

    I find it odd that technically knowledgeable people choose Facebook over other alternatives. Even if you don't consider the ethical and privacy issues, Facebook is, technically speaking, completely useless.
