Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Yep...As someone who got banned from reddit, reddit and discord absorbing the entire internet like a tumor is really not helping my will to live.

    When I was banned from Reddit I was devestated, thankfully I've come to see it as a blessing in disguise since I'm on lemmy now.

    I didn't have friends on Reddit, I do on Discord though, so if Discord became ban happy I doubt I'd reach the same conclusion

    Would your friends stay exclusively on Discord if they would ban you?

    I'd imagine they would be ready to join another platform to stay in touch with you. And I don't mean that they'll immediately stop using Discord completely but use both simultaneously.
