Comment on I hate the modern web
CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 6 days agoThat’s the problem isn’t it? We used to have forums where people discus things and blogs where people share what they’ve learned, now it is all Reddit and discord and absolute trash in between.

We still have forums and blogs. Search engines just don’t both including them in search results.
You need to know about these niche communities, which are increasingly in micro-spaces like Discord or Mastodon channels or unmonitored communities like Lemmy.
Which is more in line with Bad Old Web 1.0 than Good Old Web 1.5

Discord is like gated communities on the internet. Not open to the public and not something that is publically indexed.
It isn’t even comparable to mastadon or lemmy when it comes to being a source of information.

They’re there, but harder to find. And some are closing. I’ve had two or three in the last couple years that closed, in the reasonably popular world of cars.
