i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

    I’ve been using the internet since the mid 90’s but never really saw the appeal of forums, but maybe I never had something I was “into” that warranted being on a forum a lot. My only usage was support forums and I always found them annoying to use.

    I personally see sites like Reddit & Lemmy as the natural evolution of forums. You still have the concept of a topic (subreddit / community) where people can make posts, but the comments are displayed in a better format.
