Are sites like lemmy , reddit and discord the true successors to the old internet forums of the 2000s . or were the forums superior to todays reddit , lemmy or discord

    Good content should not be locked behind a login screen imo…

        The pictures are usually what I need from those forums though. Ex: Trying to figure something out wrong on my car, find a thread on a car forum thar seems to have my answer… but for the answer to make any sense I need to see the included pictures, which requires making an account on a forum I’ll never use again.

        Hate it.

          I think that’s mostly a remnant of the old internet without any good picture hosting services (hi photo bucket, fuck you) and it’s something that could be solved today.

          I’m honestly surprised there’s no Reddit with the same format as old school forums…
