    On the topic of forums, I do like them, but I find they can often feel less “casual” than reddit/Lemmy. Different etiquette, I think.

    I agree and it’s what I like about forums. to someone like me they’re more approachable. discord works best for me with friends, but it’s awkward with people I don’t know well

      I find Discord easier because I can be casual. Forums have always been intimidating to me. They seem to each have their own culture that I haven’t figured out. I grew up looking on them until eventually participating on Reddit bc it was easier to follow.

      Would you mind elaborating on forums? I would love to do more than lurk. As much as I enjoy Discord, I it is just not the right format for certain discussions.
