For discussing entertainment like specific video games, movies, book series, TV shows, sports teams, etc. there simply isn't a good alternative to Reddit.
I hate the site and have limited the time I spend on it but there aren't good alternatives for certain communities.
- jjcon 2y agoI find that discord has far better communities than Reddit ever did
- layer8 2y agoThe issue with Discord, besides UI gripes and excessive chattiness, is that it’s not discoverable.
- lanfeust6 2y agoDiscord is like reinventing IRC with more noise. It's not a substitute for forums.
- ewoijfawoifj 2y agoI can't find discord comments on Google.
- akuchling 2y agoFor most entertainment topics, the-avocado.org has some lively discussion (based on Disqus).
- naravara 2y agoI’m amazed that nobody has eaten Disqus lunch yet by just making “Disqus, but stable.”
- internetter 2y agoOpenWeb did for all the big publishers: https://www.openweb.com/ https://www.openweb.com/
- rvba 2y agoIMDB forums used to be a community for film and TV but amazon killed it in its infinite wisdom of lowest common denominator
- ravenstine 2y agoI miss those forums! They were simple and fun, and each board being scoped to a specific movie/show kept all the conversations very focused. Moviechat.org seems to be a spiritual successor, and I'm pretty sure that a lot of its initial content is archived IMDB forum posts, but it's not nearly as active.
