Not a dupe. The data breach information is important. The other article only mentions it at the end.

#4Discord is so cooked. It's Reddit all over again. And that place is utter trash now. Mods and Admins not even following their own rules, zero accountability.

On Discord Mods and Admins are just other users. They're not Discord staff or employees. (Reddit is different, admins are Reddit employees).

I was giving a similar, but tangibly different, example of enshitification. It doesn't have to be a 1:1 translation to be a relevant example.

Sadly Reddit hasn’t been meaningfully replaced yet. It’s a place filled with of censorship, power hungry mods, arbitrary rules, and groupthink to the extreme. I long for an alternative. Something civil like HN and community like Reddit.

We'll see how the future unfolds. Until then, I have plenty of other things to do. And I bet you do too :P

I miss the decentralized web and phpBB forums. If you didn't like one community, it was super easy to find one you did.

A lot of traditional forums are still active. :)
Just the hype seeking people left to Discord and Reddit to be able to lament about how these new places are awful and crying about phpBB and vbuletin being dead.
