I miss forums. Even on technical forums for a software, there was usually an off topic or random section to hang out in

I fear those sections would look very different today. I watched that unfold in an Otaku forum which was quite nice and peaceful for years. It got radicalised by hateful people until the owner shut it down. The same happened with a gamer forum and several other communities I frequented.

Yeah that's why it's a forlorn memory. Forums are way too easy for toxic people to dominate.
