I have been tormented, bullied even on this site as a youngster myself (previously) and I have found communities that seem to be alright on their own.

Chary I completely forgotten the preservational aspect of that~~~ with that along with Discord taking your information (doesn't everything take our info nowadays?), now I can see why forum members don't want to use the platform.

At the same time though, it does suck to know that with forums, it doesn't contain the necessasary features that modern social media platforms have.
