Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

a server I was a part of a while ago had maybe 30 people, but with a ton of topic based channels. the 'owner' would CONSTANTLY bitch about conversations being too specific for general and reprimand people.
even in one server I'm currently in, which has ~2500 members, there's really only 50 people active on it. one of the mods still does this all the time ("tAkE iT tO #PoLiTiCs") and it inevitably only ends the conversation every time. nice "community".
Whenever anyone tells me a discussion should be moved I am done. The spell is broken and the social interaction concluded because I'm no longer interested. Discord channels are fucking social poison.
