15970 The Decline of Imageboards
I've been using imageboards since 2009, .gs since 2010, and I've noticed that most imageboards from back then are either dead or deserted. So the question is, where did everybody go? Which platforms have they switched to and why?

You need to look at forums if you want an online wasteland that used to be fun. I think people are on Discord now, possibly, and maybe Telegram. I don't use either of those places so I can't be sure, though. I also have a theory people might use online dating too, since apparently those places have actual real women there.

Discord is a good call. My teenage kids are bang into it.

That answers the "where" but what about the "why"?

It's fun - in the same way that IRC used to be fun, and then Slack was fun, and Discord is like Slack is like IRC - unadulterated, non-moderated super-fast-chat where people tell you what they really think whether they/you like it or not.

Surely it all depends on where you go, though? You can't just get Discord and then immediately join the fun places; you'd need to find them. How would you do that? I don't think I've ever seen anywhere good say, "Come and have even more fun on Discord instead."

Does anyone use Kik? Apparently Kik is good for making friends with strangers, which sounds very appealing when I consider what wankers the people I actually know are.

A lot of the YouTube channels that I subscribe to have a Discord for viewers. Same goes for a lot of subreddits. If you just search for "thing you're interested in" + "discord" on your search engine of choice, you'll find some options; it shouldn't take long to figure out if there's any worthwhile discussion happening. Of course, the easiest way to discover good Discord servers is through recommendations from people on Discord.
