been saying this for a while, it's not that Reddit and Discord don't have their place, but they are tools for other things. There is no good replacement for good old forums, indexable that you can search for a solution for a problem someone solved 10y ago

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

The conversation has been moved to social networks and new platforms for years
But many of them are closed and don't index in search engines
Reddit has ended up becoming the great global discussion forum, but that has its dangers

Been shouting from the rooftops for ages for game devs especially to stop posting only in their discord

@gamingonlinux I wonder if the million dollar idea is to make a reporter that post not only to discord, but to your moderated forums.

Btw is neogaf still a thing. I'm so out of the loop with that lol

At least reddit is (mostly) viewable by anyone...

Too many places anymore only post information/updates/news on platforms which require a login to view their ""public"" posts.

@eshep recently this is what you get if you don’t want to reveal your ip : (

The image shows the Reddit mascot, a white alien figure with a red eye and a mischievous expression, wearing a white fedora hat. Below the mascot, there is a message stating, "You've been blocked by network security." The text advises users to log in to their Reddit account or use their developer token to continue. There are two buttons at the bottom: one labeled "Log in" and the other "File a ticket," suggesting actions for users who believe they have been blocked by mistake. The background of the image is black.
