I just need forums, social network can go away.
- kocial 2mo ago- Hell Yeah, 2000-2010 era :) best. - Tons of forums coming from PHPBB, vBulletin, mybb etc.,
- markus_zhang 2mo agoYep and BBS is good too. Like, HN actually only has part of the functionality of a BBS — back then you could post pictures on BBS, download warez, and even play games. It is way more colorful and fast than any other format afterwards. If we enjoy HN, we should enjoy more about BBS. The only problem is that people don’t know about it.
- kocial 2mo agoI think Mastodon is trying to do what forums used to be back then.
- mr1337 2mo agoI do miss the golden age of forums, before centralized general-purpose sites like Digg and Reddit.
- mpeg 2mo agoI think the reason it feels that way (I agree) is that forums had real community; I met irl friends in forums, people I stayed close with for many years The modern day equivalent is probably discord, there are servers with really close communities where everyone knows each other
