@smallcircles@social.coop those are general terms?

@k0e3@lemmy.ca forums are more constrained in scope in terms of discussion. This can mean a more tight-knit community of regulars, and the inherent development of a forum-wide culture at smaller scales. Reddit (and so, Lemmy, Piefed, etc.) are built to be more general purpose. Mastodon is the same. For example, my main is this account on activitypub.space. It is primarily a discussion forum around AP development, not much of anything else, but from that niche forum I can still participate here on the wider threadiverse.

@info Very well said. Couldn't agree more. A wolf in sheep's clothing. A patina of 'open systems' over a solid $100M corporate core.

@julian@fietkau.social that's a great idea! I should adopt that, there's no downside.

Thank you for the credits !
