minus-squareroombobcat@lemmy.roombob.catlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 years agoa indie game i support refuses to use a forum, only discord. i hate searching thru threads in discord when a forum would be easier. i wish people wouldn’t shun the idea of a forum just because it’s a “old idea.” good on the jellyfin folks for doing this.
minus-squarehazel 🤷🏻♀️🏳️🌈@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoYep unpopular opinion I hate hate hate discord for anything but normal chat. The threads they added recently are neat and I hope they keep going in that direction.

minus-squareroombobcat@lemmy.roombob.catlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoexactly. it’s not hard to install SMF or PHPBB on a small web server, however actually maintaining/managing a forum is a bit harder. it’s easier to round up Discord moderators, but good luck finding anyone with forum moderation experience.
