Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

Small message boards only really worked when people, generally, did not care about moderation.

Or had ticker skins and just /ignored assholes.

Or had ticker skins and just /ignored assholes.

That was the answer right there. Stuff the assholes in your ignore list and forget that they exist. Too many people on the internet are wanna-be cops out to police everyone else's ideas, language, or tone. The other person in a dispute is always a Commie or a Fascist and needs to be silenced as quickly and brutally as possible.

The internet wasn't for normies and making it easy for them to participate was a serious mistake.
