This is what needs to happen. All these groups that relied on Reddit as a “transparent” and safe method to host forums need to move out. All that’s happening here is that Reddit feels like they own all this data and information and thinks they can charge for it.
Happy to see Jellyfin making the move that is beyond “going to the next Reddit” and actually taking ownership of their data and community to safeguard it.
I wonder if this could mean a resurgence of multiple old forums.
Yeah I wish to go back to that. Too bad the old forums I used to post in are now mostly locked and archived with only one or two sections open due to lack of moderators/time in the hands of the owners
There’s a lot of nostalgia in those old forums but it is nice to be able to take your reputation around the interwebs with you. Not to mention that a lot of those old forum operators had to be technical on some level to maintain their instances.
I like that they’re moving to something self-hosted. I don’t like that it’s a non-threaded forum again. I liked Reddit and do like kbin / Lemmy because the structure of the threads is preserved much better, like it was with Usenet or mailing lists before. I think a better approach would have been to host such an instance on their own.
What do you mean? They use a MyBB which is a plain old thread-style forum.
The upvote button is stuck for me. It doesn’t register my click.
Try prizing it up with a screwdriver :)
