with the reddit boycott it seems like the perfect moment for people to leave reddit and make forums reddit killed forums now that they killed reddit how can we get people to adopt forums again

The last Redditor that I remember coming here had a fetish for fat women and spammed Q&A with threads he copied over from Reddit... Yeah, I think they really are better off staying in their own site.

Not just Reddit, but Discord also is a threat to traditional forms of Internet communities. However it would be difficult as you would be persuading a person who the sites are designed for whether by conditioning or by mental illness...

I don't know if you could, I think online there's a certain perception of Redditors (which isn't necessarily inaccurate for the very online ones), but the ones I know irl who mention using reddit casually are the kind for whom unless all the content was extremely surface web and hand-delivered they would be scared off.

They don't necessarily believe in the homo shit, they barely know anything all the behind the scenes stuff with reddit. They just use it probably because it's the place all the search engines point to when you ask a question.

Someone else would have to make a bunch of splintered forums that were search engine friendly that a person could use all the same info to sign in to. So in other words, Reddit. But preferably less bogged down with power-hungry losers and globalist brainwashing.

At this point I think the major online communities all serve valuable purposes as containment sites. Facebook to contain the boomers, Reddit to contain the redditors, Discord to contain the furry pedophiles, and so on.

It's like if we were asking in another era, "How do we get people off of AOL?" Maybe they're best left there until they want to join civilization.

I wish there was some sort of thing that was like federated twitter but more forum-like.
Imagine you could put tags on your forum-style thread.
But you'd set up your OWN forum and decide how to filter and group these tagged threads.

Like you could make a thread about sharing OC cat photos, and tag it as such. You could put it on your own forum that's all about cats. But someone else could have a forum about pets, and someone else could have a forum about photography. This way the thread could have more traffic from different sites, all contributing to the same thread. But the cat forum would still be all about cats, and the photography forum would still be all about photography.

The biggest issue would be culture, I guess.

Ah, someone else who remembers the days of USENET, where calling someone an AOLer was the ultimate form of contempt.

As for Redditors, are there any fora which still exist (RetardEra excluded) which even wants them? Reddit users are so used to their site's weird rules (like being able to move posts to the bottom of the page by disliking them, "Reddit Gold", whatever the fuck that is, etc.) that I'm certain they'd start clamouring to have similar shit instituted wherever they go.

As mentioned above, it's a matter of site culture and most Reddit users would be disruptive (although I'm sure some would fit in).

Normalfaggots, by their nature, don't like forums. I had the displeasure of taking this class (in my field) some time back where we had to basically make forum threads asking a question and forum posts discussing it. They just couldn't be fucked to participate. Was a huge effort. The same topic matter would get conversations going on here with strangers that are probably 99% NEETs. Normalfags cannot be bothered to think or write about a topic without having the reward of social interaction/gossip to dangle in front of them.

Just destroy all modern social media and return the internet to the era of forums and IRC chat rooms.
