remember myspace? thats what reddit is. an ancient webartifact.

SeattleRain ,

I think a big stumbling block is authentication. I think Web 3 could really revive indie forums if the was integrated properly.

It was give people a single sign on for thousands of forums.

How so?

NBCooks ,

Forums are alive and well for BBQ. See Amazing Ribs forums and BBQ Brethren.

boonhet ,

Cars too. Lots of marque or model specific forums still kicking it.

Bo7a ,

And motorcycles!

Shameless plug for the triumph bobber forum and triumphrat if you are into those bikes.

boonhet ,

I’m actually looking at something else for my first bike, but it does have a forum because it seems to have a huge fan base - I’m looking at older Ducati Monsters, particularly the 620.

Bo7a ,

Ducati.ms will be your best friend.

Yeah, I’m a little bit too much into motorcycle forums…

My favorite forum is still chugging along!

forums.mst3k.com

If you’re a fan, you’re most welcome.

If you’re not a fan, you’re still welcome, but you probably won’t get a lot of our references.

If you’re a dickweed- well, you probably won’t last any longer than Tom Servo did as an Observer.

PlasticExistence ,

I wonder if there’s beer on the Sun…

Lost_My_Mind ,

Well there better be! Otherwise I’m not going to vacation there!

I see Rowsdower, I up vote Rowsdower!

Even many fans don’t get this reference now, sadly. The DVD set it was on is long out-of-print and Tjardus Greidanus won’t grant them the rights to re-release it. He also sends takedowns to anyone who uploads The Final Sacrifice to YouTube.

It really sucks when one of the best episodes of a TV show can’t bee seen.

PlasticExistence , (edited )

Yeah, I’ve read about his refusal to let people enjoy it. That’s a shame as it’s one of my favorite MST3K episodes.

Keep circulating the tapes!

Whos Tom Servo

He’s the wind, baby!

Snowcano ,

Sorry, baby. No one rules the Tom Monster!

ocassionallyaduck ,

This is a beautiful thing. I love MST3K, I might just join it.

jamyang ,

Thanks for the recommendation.

i_have_no_enemies OP ,

if you have a thread you like, make sure to archive.is or archive.org it

ch00f ,

You can also request all of your posts on Reddit in a neat little csv. Takes about a month to get though.

RustyWizard ,

And then you can go through and delete all your comments, lessening the value of Reddit as a platform.

nondescripthandle ,

You can also edit all your high scoring comments with bizarre misinformation so the next AI scrape gets dumber.

LostXOR ,

Even better, use an AI to generate the misinformation to save you time (and get even dumber misinformation).

NautiNolana ,

I use the “nuke Reddit history” extension

lemmyvore ,

I never got mine. Been a lot more that a month.

ch00f ,

Took a looong time, but I eventually got mine. I think it might have even been more than a month. They are certainly in no rush.

shaeblase ,

No nos importa puto memo

curiousPJ ,

Maybe for the generic cat/dog image sharing boards but niche topics like machining are still thriving.

mr_robot2938 ,

I’m gonna keep posting on Lemmy and hope that helps. Our collective communities should not be in the hands of mega corporations.

kalpol ,

You should keep posting on Usenet too…rec.+

lemmyingly ,

I read many MBs on Usenet everyday 😉

barsquid ,

What is a good usenet server for reading MBs of discussion every day?

Machinist ,
@Machinist@lemmy.world avatar

Farm and eweka.

corsicanguppy ,

So much this.

But where? How?

Scrollone ,

Yes, we just have to collectively make Lemmy grow until it’s a true and complete replacement for classical monolith websites such as Reddit and Facebook groups.

JackbyDev ,

Lemmy!

pyrflie ,

Never heard of it. Can’t be too big.

thorbot ,

No it isn’t. Forums are cesspools.

LodeMike ,

Discord is not a forum lol

rimjob_rainer ,

Then why are people using it as one?

LodeMike ,

Because they hate themselves /s

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA ,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

Two things can be true

TexMexBazooka ,

Because it’s convenient

DNAmaster10 ,

I know of a couple Discord servers with “help” channels being used to completely replace forums which would have served the same purpose back in the day. Not sure if that’s what it’s talking about.

Romkslrqusz ,

Discord has evolved from more or less being a series of chatrooms (like IRC) to having “threads” that work a lot like how a forum would typically be used.

In the repair community, a lot of conversation about component level repair has moved to Discord channels. Sites like badcaps.net or the Rossmann group forums have comparatively low usage. Nested away in Discord, this information doesn’t show up in search engine results and can’t be archived by web crawlers. When a Discord server is deleted or made private, that information is forever lost.

Crashumbc ,

You missed when the web KILLED BBSs!!!

That was the end! We’re already dead!!!

DannyMac ,

I think the thing to worry about is these corporations centrally controlling this data. With one fell swoop, they can do whatever they want with it. With forums, at least they weren’t controlled by one company.

Paragone ,

umm, Hoomin, that was in the 1900’s!

: P

ava221 ,

great work チャットGPTchat gpt deutsch

@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

SomethingAwful is still around. As are a lot of niche forums like XDA. We also have Lemmy and other non-corporate ran social media.

iopq ,

Unfortunately, I don’t have ten bucks

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

i never wanted to pay for that either lol

TexMexBazooka ,

Unfortunately here’s the reality: if you want something specific, you’ll probably have to pay for it

mtchristo ,

We need help communities on Lemmy. That’s what is going to make it rank in SEO and fly. Communities like software help (office, adobe creative products, etc), financial help and advice. And ask docs communities.

Memes won’t help SEO rank.

newbeni ,

At this point I try to disregard anything that I can tell is SEO generated though, I wonder how many more feel like me.

TexMexBazooka ,

Not enough, unfortunately

Fora used to be great support groups for medical conditions. I helped run one with an RN. It was tough work keeping the trolls out, but we were also a great resource. Eventually, social media moved on. Que será.
