@PhenomX6 @devnull @coolboymew That makes me mad even though I never used it. It had a great amount of information on unreleased games, prototypes, etc. I can't imagine how much information is lost because people failed to archive it before it got shut down.

Now you have to go to some Discord server if you want to find some info on unreleased games, prototypes, leaked source code, etc.

Worst example in my experience was some Zelda forum (I can't remember which one) that banned using > for quoting because that's "chan behavior" despite that same format being used in Usenet and Email.

While I miss forums, I don't think I can go back (unless the culture is MUCH more laidback). The moderation on some of them were the fucking worst and they could get away with it because the userbase is much smaller.

The forums that are still active are filled with reCaptcha, CloudFlare, and Google Analytics. Most even block VPNs and TOR.

Also:
-Forum admins reading your PMs; the reason assemblergames stayed up was the admins did just this.
-PLEASE SIGN UP TO DO ANYTHING.
-Forum paywalls (seriously some do this shit).
-Forum moderator more ban happy than LTG in his stream chat.
-Jannies censoring discussion to avoid getting nuked by someone else.

A lot of people forgot one of the reasons Discord/Reddit got so fucking big was the lack of moderation at one point or little moderation. Then when a scandal happened, just throw moderation at the problem by the time it has critical mass. Whoopsies. Now Discord went from the cool kids club chat platform to groomer central overnight, and Reddit went from the days of /r/watchpeopledie and edgy shitpost subs to posting there means it's like walking on eggshells. But nobody will move because it's big already, and if you use the same tricks to get big you'll be thrown off hosts for hate speech.

@Moon @devnull @PhenomX6 @Kaavik_B I’ve learned to never get complacent expecting established open standards to remain dominant. All it takes is one vicious snowball effect and then suddenly everyone is on shiny new $PROPRIETARY replacement.

When people are free they are not equal, and when they are equal they are not free.

@ryo Americans need to learn that nullification is always the solution to unconstitutional laws.

And Americans have the right to ignore them, because 1st amendment.
Same with Japan using the 21st amendment by the way, which is basically the same anyway.

Eww Cummissioner says USSA will soon have anti-free speech "laws", boasts about pushing advertisers to demonize reality
