Sadly Reddit hasn’t been meaningfully replaced yet. It’s a place filled with of censorship, power hungry mods, arbitrary rules, and groupthink to the extreme. I long for an alternative. Something civil like HN and community like Reddit.

We'll see how the future unfolds. Until then, I have plenty of other things to do. And I bet you do too :P

I miss the decentralized web and phpBB forums. If you didn't like one community, it was super easy to find one you did.

  A lot of traditional forums are still active. :) Just the hype seeking people left to Discord and Reddit to be able to lament about how these new places are awful and crying about phpBB and vbuletin being dead.

    Traditional forums may not have grown as much as social media, but they’re definitely still alive and vibrant. And honestly, higher quality conversations and community than Reddit and discord.

    Must have just been the ones I liked that died. Will have to go looking

  Lemmy is a federated reddit-like community that anyone can host themselves. Here's one of the top servers: https://lemmy.world/communities?listingType=All&sort=TopMonth&page=1 https://lemmy.world/communities?listingType=All&sort=TopMont...

Such as it is I can’t think of any other forum even close to Reddit. HN is civil because of solid moderation and “censorship”.
