It seems like tech companies have been trying to kill forums and message boards for like a decade now.
I fucking hate it. I can't stand the Discord, twitter, etc... forms of social media and communication. It's just a chaotic fucking mess.
But one by one, message boards keep getting shuttered.

Related and almost as bad was all the websites closing the in-house comments sections on their articles and instead having no discussion at all or outsourcing it to Discus or something.

The problem is that Twitter and Reddit are just about attention in form of retweets or upvotes to be visible, and a chat like Discord is just about activity.

I virtually can't participate in a Reddit discussion, because no matter what I write, by default it will be ranked below the funny pun with 127 upvotes.

I mean, 20 years ago every community had some phpBB2 board. But they all became some Sub-Reddit, because it's cheaper.
