Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

Internet Forums disappearing is a real shame.

For my hobby there's still lots and lots of old and relevant archived forum threads that regularly help me out.

But for new information, that has all moved to Facebook Groups. This forces me to keep a Facebook account, which I hate and would otherwise ditch in a heartbeat.

So much lost knowledge. Even on forums that remain, I feel as though 80% of all images no longer function. Especially frustrating when said image is constantly referred to.

Man for some reason local musicians are unable to connect aside from the facebook, at least from my subjective pov.

Nonetheless I moved on from the zuck, but I realise I'm shooting myself in the foot a little just to make a point.
