Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

FWIW it's very common now to see at least open source projects run their own Matrix channels instead of Discord/IRC/xxx.

(I see in other comments that there's some confusion regarding Element and Matrix. Element is a client, Matrix is the protocol. Yes, Element-the-company does their best to add to this confusion)

Yeah but that isn't the greater population, unfortunately. What can we do to make the Fediverse more interesting for people?
