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

Forums lifespans weren't all that much anyways. Most sites that were hosted before 2010 are gone now.

The real downside to everything being on StackOverflow, Reddit, Discord, etc is that it has made it easier for big tech to run their shady data collection and analysis schemes including AI Training.

yeah, because virtually all communities moved to Discord or Reddit.
