Kagi could be a good alternative to Google Translate: https://translate.kagi.com/translate/https://www.xataka.com/servicios/foros-internet-estan-desapareciendo-porque-ahora-todo-reddit-discord-eso-preocupante
Try DeepL. It's the superior translation app, as far as I'm concerned. Based in the EU, I believe.
I have never once used discord and it makes me wonder how much information I haven’t been able to find, but I’ve managed to get what I need so I don’t know if it was important anyway.
I have been trying to build a forum recently, but found phpbb really ugly and difficult to customize (even changing the logo was oddly difficult). I know about discourse but I would prefer a PHP based solution I can host in one of my current servers.
Are there any better solutions?
Doesn't that depend on the forums, though? For many organizations, those sites fit the needs perfectly fine. If you don't care about archiving and you would not be totally screwed if the forum disappeared tomorrow, you're going to opt for something simple like that.
They already disappeared around 2017 when Steve Bannon's racist troll armies flooded every single social media site or app. The auto-immune reaction killed the host, which I suspect was the point.
I agree with the previous comments: forums are hard to manage because of trolls, hackers and lack of dedicated resources ... The main responsible being, before reddit and discord, the ugly social networks mainly facebook. I hope this company will crumble ...
Every forum i joined for my hobbies are always been full of shills in disguise.
That's sad
