I see a lot of people saying online that “forums are dying off because of discord and reddit”

yet other people reply: “Well, I’m still using my forum/IRC.”

So I have to ask, what forums that are decently big still exist? Only one I can think of is Nomutantsallowed for fallout related content.

    that’s interesting… I guess a forum and a chat have a lot of similar attributes. The difference is in the presentation with forum being more static appearing. What would be the reason to deploy Matrix like that instead of using a purpose-build forum software? The most obvious would be not requiring a second account.

    What’s PoC?
