Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)
libra00@lemmy.world 1 day agoForums are just not great for real-time interaction like discord chat is, not to mention the integration of voice chat, video streaming, etc is just too convenient to give up without replacing it with something similar. I too wish discord/whatever replacement gets attention was more searchable and kept stuff long-term, but… if you want to post info that lasts, post it on lemme and link it on discord or whatever.

True, but I can’t help having nostalgia for ye olde forum days.

Fair enough.
I kinda don’t though. I quite enjoy real-time chat and voice and video with friends. It’s not like forums don’t exist at all anymore tho - you’re on one right now. I get my forum experience from places like reddit or lemmy, and I use them for very different things, so I’m glad both exist.

Reasonable, but you’d be fooling yourself to act as if forums will meaningfully replace Discord for most users.
