Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

why anyone would use it as a forum

That's what I also would like to know. It's such a bad platform for it.

Discord is a great platform for bullshitting with your friends while playing games and shit.

but people are using it for things that its not, and wasnt ever meant to be.

They made a ticketing system for using discord for customer support, which is not a bad idea. But that also kinda works as a forum, so the round peg went in the square hole
