PLEASE I BEG OF YOU, STOP USING DISCORD IN PLACE OF FORUMS AND PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE BOARDS!

While I agree, what might everyday people use to set up forums as relatively easily and cheaply as their Discord servers, and not have them riddled with ads or other clunky elements?

I'm pretty sure those that may have even been considering forums went to Discord because the only other options were more involved in terms of set up/maintenance and cost, the latter to get something without ads.

Github has discussions. The code is already there anyways

Microsoft is going to continue to increase their monetization of GitHub. It's going to get worse, not better.

Just hoping we get some github alternative on fediverse, so far Ive seen codeberg but its hosted by a non profit org in berlin... Which is great but for e.g. I cant contribute to the code without creating an account on their instance

I really don't know about these things, but I've heard that GitLab is a good alternative to GitHub?

it used to be but they've been focusing heavily into corporate clients and shutting off special treatment/support for foss software projects the past couple years

I've been loving Source Hut, but they're not ready to handle GitHub-level usage
