<p><strong><a href="https://aftermath.site/best-active-forums-internet-today">Forums are still alive, active, and a treasure trove of information</a></strong></p> Chris Person:</p> <blockquote> <p>When I want information, like the real stuff, I go to forums. Over the years, forums did not really get smaller, so much as the rest of the internet just got bigger. Reddit, Discord and Facebook groups have filled a lot of that space, but there is just certain information that requires the dedication of adults who have specifically signed up to be in one kind of community.</p> </blockquote> <p>This is a <em>very</em> comprehensive directory of active forums. <p><small></small>Via <a href="https://waxy.org/2024/10/aftermaths-list-of-discussion-forums/">Andy Baio</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/forums">forums</a></p>
