Mods all over the Internet killed forums with their bullshit. The users too. You can't tame the mob and the users drag their shit on the carpet like a dog doing the scuttle.
Take a look at the shit show of the Neogaf/Resetera split as an example.
you spelled 'non-federating internet forums' wrong
There was a while where as a fighting game player the best way to learn obscure tech or situational high damage combos was to sift through discords looking for info and it was BALLS. Lately I feel like everyone more committed to the fan wikis and maybe twitter for that stuff but oh man.
remember myspace? thats what reddit is. an ancient webartifact.
It‘s really annoying how searching anything online becomes harder by the day because of it and AI is not helping with it either.
