I hope forums make a comeback in 2024 :ChikaDetective2:

@fujiwara YES. PLEASE. :mikuhigh:

i would do anything for forums to come back…getting a proper community to gather and archive important information is much needed.

and no, discord is NOT an alternative…i hate my generation sometimes. :mikudisgust:

@misha I just prefer forums for conversation more than the current trend of instant messaging. Things just seemed to flow better that way and there was no pressure :btr_kikuri_thumbsup:

@fujiwara Funny thing, we do have a forums, but I'm figuring out some things on how to get more people to utilize it more.

@chikorita157 @fujiwara I took a peep at it when I first joined, I think, but I didn't have much of a reason to engage with it.

The forums I still visit today are either indirectly via Google for programming stuff or lurking directly for more niche games. Everything else has been taken up by Lemmy/Mastodon/Reddit. :bunhdthink:

Some is the chicken egg syndrome. I used it briefly but with no traffic, it wasn't worth the effort to keep up with it. So many other places on my list.

@NaraMoore @fujiwara People too entrenched in Reddit, no matter how worse the experience is getting. :kanafacepalm:

@chikorita157 @fujiwara

Reddit is even further down on my place list. I haven't been on it since the moderator boycott

@NaraMoore @fujiwara (don’t tell anyone, but I still go on there to take the Seiyuu images to share on Mastodon. :sylveonsmug: I refuse to go on the :deadbird: site and I wish everyone would just leave that cesspool already. (I have the :deadbird: site IP blocked on my Firewall)

And Bluesky is pretty much dead, looking at its stats and it's steadily declining, doubt it will survive in the long term, and it looks like Misskey is about 1k a day?

Can we just go back to using forums and blogging. It's my only hope.

@chikorita157 @fujiwara

Most of those images are available via

@alojapan

I assumed you were getting them from this feed.

@fujiwara they never went away. I’m on 3, one of which I’ve been on for several years

@coffeentacos All of the ones I used to post on are still around, but nobody posts or replies anymore :AquaBaka:

@fujiwara Same, more forums and less Discord servers, they're just way comfier

@comfy I agree! Mastodon is a nice middle ground but I'm nostalgic for the old days.
