I welcome the return of forums. What a simpler time.

It felt so much better to engage on forums. felt a bit slower and more intentional. And signatures, the signatures! Love their choice here.

a indie game i support refuses to use a forum, only discord. i hate searching thru threads in discord when a forum would be easier.

i wish people wouldn't shun the idea of a forum just because it's a "old idea." good on the jellyfin folks for doing this.

Yep unpopular opinion I hate hate hate discord for anything but normal chat. The threads they added recently are neat and I hope they keep going in that direction.

I hate Discord full stop, because it's a centralised proprietary platform just like Reddit and is going to hit the exact same issues one day, and it's going to be even harder to recover all the conversations that have gone on there.

Sadly this is very common for small game developers (and even large ones) to move entirely to Discord to avoid paying or managing a dedicated forum

[–] roombobcat@lemmy.roombob.cat 1 points 1 year ago

exactly. it's not hard to install SMF or PHPBB on a small web server, however actually maintaining/managing a forum is a bit harder.

it's easier to round up Discord moderators, but good luck finding anyone with forum moderation experience.
