Not quite. It has higher friction than forums.

Most of the forums I can read when not signed in, with Discord I need to:

1) sign in to Discord

2) join to specific server

3) read and accepts all its rules, tems and conditions

4) optionally leave the server after I got all the information

Are you saying that p2p was fine in 2000s, but in 2020s with 10 times faster upload, it is suddenly not fine?

I even got 100 times faster upload than 20 years ago...

On Windows/Android I certainly have more choises than on MacOS/iOS.

I am satisfied with current set of choices on my Win 10 & Android 13.

Industrialization took decade or even more, AI took just a few years. AI is a quite a shock for our economy.

Not useless.

You cannot solve a problem when you don't know you have a problem.

Which is difficult since smartphones are used as 2FA, and not every service has web interface, only mobile one (some banks, chats, dating, uber, etc..)

And node / bun development is much easier because of many many npm packages.
