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

Yeah I remember voicing this concern when all online communities seemed to be going to discord and people seemed to mainly laugh at me in response at the time.
Fuck Discord
Companies putting their stuff into discord is like all the businesses that ditched a dedicated website and moved to facebook however many years ago. Yay, now it is on a format that doesn't work well for presenting static information and will inevitably require account registration!
Newest iteration of "this meeting could have been an email" has become "this Discord could have been a wiki".
