Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord

[poopoo]

​

• For years the conversation has moved to social networks and new platforms​

• But many of them are closed and do not index in search engines.​

• Reddit has ended up becoming the great global discussion forum, but that has its dangers​

There was a time when discussion forums were our social networks. Users visited those that fit a certain theme and that allowed them to create a community and enjoy a small (or not so small) virtual place in which to meet.

That is changing, and the appearance of the aforementioned social networks caused a dangerous migration. Suddenly being on a forum was no longer interesting because Facebook groups with funny names were more attractive. And if it wasn't Facebook groups, it was Reddit. And if not, Discord.

Everything is a subreddit​

All of us on the Xataka team are fans of Reddit. It is a fantastic platform that allows you to chat, discover, learn and have fun without leaving it. And yet, it has its dangers, and one of them is that it is causing the disappearance of discussion forums.

The feeling that these discussion forums are dying is already known. A Hacker News user with the alias 'hourago' already commented forcefully on this platform a year ago:

"What used to be blogs and forums is now Reddit. Tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of communities that had their own wiki, blog, forum, ... are now reduced to being a Subreddit.

The Internet has become fragile. A service goes down and everyone suffers. If the top 10 services went down most people would think there was no Internet at all.

Email is the last service standing that is much more open than the rest. But the rise of WhatsApp and its equivalents is calling this into question. One day all our communication will depend on a monopoly."

It is a revealing comment and one that led to an interesting debate there. Many in it agreed with these impressions, indicating that indeed today discussion forums are seen as something anachronistic, obsolete, totally out of fashion.

Instead we have subredits , which certainly offer many of the advantages of forums but have one major disadvantage: they are controlled by a single company that has just gone public and that in recent times has not been particularly good to its users. .

The same thing happens with Facebook groups – we already know how the company spends it – and with other platforms to which the conversation has moved. Twitter (sorry, X) offers that ability, but it doesn't have much to do with forums because there you follow people or media, not topics or interests.
