I’m not sure what this post is trying to convey. The fediverse is another thing designed to kill old school forums, I thought?

The main difference is that the Fediverse content and knowledge is accessible for everyone, as opposed to Reddit and Discord

The fediverse is more like the evolution of those old school forums, but diversified into more than just forums. Decentralized, user ran shit that could be a forum, a microblog, a YouTube alternative, a Discord/IRC alternative, an image host, etc. And then they could possibly share content with each other directly, but that’s kinda up to the individual app/site.

My only experience with the fediverse so far is Lemmy and I can understand why some forum users might not want to change to it. Too much censorship, too many bots, less continuity of the user base, etc.
