So, some people say that we should bring back forums. The stupid thing about that is that you need a lot of accounts, which makes things more tedious than reddit. What if you could use you Fediverse account for your forums? #forums #forumsoftware #discussion #bringbackforums

@PaulTheNerd YES YES YES. I have been yelling this for decades. Unfortunately people dismiss forums as something outdated like Myspace, while at the same time complaining about lots of things re: Twitter/Discord/etc that forums actually SOLVE.

I've been trying to get a Nintendo-focused forum off the ground for ages but just can't seem to gather interest.
