What are we going to do about it?
Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Was this article written 15 years ago? Because this is anything but a new occurrence.
And what can we do about it now? I mean we have the Fediverse. It’s 20 million users are not the most but it’s not nothing. We can build on that.
I think it’s crazy that an art sub is more popular than an art forum.
For news and other more “consumables” I understand, but when posts don’t lose value because they age, forums are better IMO :-/
I suppose it’s the low barrier. People are already on Reddit and thus join the subreddits.
We have a great opportunity with the Fediverse here to replace them.
