    I think many forums are dying to “attention competition.”

    That’s my personal experience.

    I kind of want to participate in some forums, but a on-and-off doomscrolling addiction, executive dysfunction and some other stuff sucks up all the time.

    And many of my niches have gone to Discord, which is an information black hole yet pings the hell out of me for attention. It’s an abomination. I had to quit it, cold turkey.

    Reddit played a role, of course.
