I honestly just wish the internet would go back to individual forums. Lemmy is great for a reddit alternative, but I think old school forums were just better overall

I know forums still exist, obviously, but they're kind of shitty right now.

I can't agree with you, forums were so clunky

Forums worked really elegantly when you had an active userbase of maybe a couple of dozen people a day.

Megaforums... not so much.
