Facebook was very effective replacing old forums. A lot of communities and info have fully migrated to fb groups and going back is very unlikely to happen. Reddit is also partially responsible for this, it's just way more accessible (for now at least) than fb. But saying it serves no purpose is false, unfortunately.

I'm not saying they needed to be replaced, I'm saying they effectively were in a lot of cases. Many forums simply died out after fb became really mainstream.

Or having the EU force each of these to create a standard and communicate with each other

Which is happening I think

The EU is our only hope of any privacy

There is absolutely nothing effective about what Facebook did to forums. Nothing.

[u/Realtrain → u/livestrongsean]

Facebook pretty effectively destroyed them, there's no arguing that. (Just because something is effective doesn't mean it's good)

I'm not painting fb in a positive light in my comment. Just stating that they were effective "trapping" entire communities and, in due time, killing the original forums.

As someone who ran a fb group but decided to leave meta in September, I thought I’d add discord to this group/forum/community conversation: it was nearly seamless to move my group to discord.

It's just another corporate spyware system though.

Exactly and in the event that everyone did move, Meta would just buy them out.
