| ▲ | Scaled a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Facebook is one of the worst places to build a community. You now have to pay to post more than two links a month, even. And you might be impressed how far forums have come. Open source Discourse forum now has built-in Discord like voice and video chat, along with real time text posts. (It also powers some extremely large communities with millions of users.) | | |
| ▲ | lukan a day ago | parent [-] | | Oh I agree in general, I don't have FB. And discourse forum is probably what I would have tried too, but can it really scale to millions of active users? The largest I know are some linux forums, but they are way smaller. | | |
| ▲ | Scaled a day ago | parent [-] | | Oh yes, it's used by Roblox, Blizzard, Unity, Epic, etc. Often the big companies remove the branding, but it's Discourse under the hood. |

| ▲ | bigyabai 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | Close-knit ones, the sort that don't trade principles for outreach. Bully on me for expecting narcissists to grow a spine. |
