It's time to ditch the chaos of Slack and Discord communities and make a return to the organised, focused world of forums.

They aren't obsolete.

They aren't real time.

They just fucking work.

@Daojoan agreed.

Real-time chat does not have curation or conversation structure for it to hold useful knowledge for posterity.

There is no inbuilt “posterity”, only forever present “now”.

Analogy - it’s like trying to read a book whose paragraphs are random ordered, some are missing, some pages are gummed together, etc.

@dahukanna @Daojoan My go-to place for technical advice on a deeper query, as well as some more leisurely chats, is a 30 year old BBS. Search for a term within a file is lightning fast so I can look back on previous comments by an individual, date or topic.
