with proper threading

remember forums

good times

most are not that threaded

threaded is doo doo

donate to my patreon

discourse got some threading, but is more like twitters where it only shows replies

talkyard.io is similar to how reddit looks

Forums are great

I still use a few

most forums are dead now

That's sad, but true

everything has moved to facebook 😦

even "websites" have moved to facebook

Which makes no sense and is very not fun

facebook is like the exclusive in-group at the moment

Facebook is like the ridiculous social network super-power big brother at the moment

"exclusive"

I don't get why you can't access facebook stuffs without being a member

was reading an article on people talking about that "the social platform for everyone" is doomed to fail

because they won't be able to make money from you or your data if you don't have an account

like geocities and myspace before

They make plenty of money on non-members

@angeryer plot twist everyone got a facebook account, even if they never registered

That's bacially what happens

Shadow profiles galore

brb commit neck rope

you'd think shadow profiles should removed with GDPR

They've got fun connections

But shadow profiles aren’t people! (And totally don’t exist guys we promise)

I hate facebook with a passion

They've done nothing for me, and have only done things to my and other's detriment

unlike other companies like Google, they don't really offer anything unique and useful to everyone

Facebook used to be alright.

Alright was their hieght

I mean.. the best way to use it, was to use it very sparingly.

And that's just not what they were after.

They wanted to plug into people daily.

They can really only make money from people's data now. The problem with most of these services is that they become very costly over time

so companies tend to go to more dubius monetization stategies

Facebook is awful. I hate that without it you’re disconnected from an entire section of people. Not having access to the marketplaces especially is awful if you’re looking for specific stuff since all the niche forums have died and migrated there.
