Don’t want to date myself, but finding new sites and communities used to be fun.
Are there any cool sites anymore? Besides this one, of course?

Basically all community building has moved on to discord. If you wanna talk crap in chatroom at all hours of the day like IRC was still ubiquitous, that’s your best bet. If you really liked PHPbb forums I’ve got nothing for you.
I despise having to troubleshoot a niche thing and the community is only on discord. I want a forum that I can search through, not 50 trillion pages of irrelevant drama with the fix nested in a thread and a quote chain that has gone on for 3 months.
Moving away from forums into discord servers was a huge mistake. The chatroom format is such a mess for anything other than chatting.
Yeah that’s a huge issue that thankfully I’ve avoided so far. Discord fucking sucks and I hate it bring back Mumble and Ventrilo.
Maybe its just nostalgia, but I do miss old-style BBSes
this place is basically an old school phpbb board even if the format is the reddit format. the size and activeness of the community is pretty reminiscent of old phpbb forums though.
I think that’s why I like it here. I came up on Totse when I was young. Not a good place, mind you. But it was kind of niche and weird and fun. Hexbear reminds me of that, but with some direction and responsibility.
