What I’m particularly concerned about lately is the growing share of online forums that don’t even publish their content on the web.

The most famous example of this type of forum is probably Discord.

As those of you on Lemmy know, many people chose Discord as an alternative after Reddit’s deterioration.

Hasn’t this problem already escalated to the point where access to content isn’t guaranteed not only to some bots but even to individuals without accounts?

Shouldn’t those who love the web be extremely wary of online communities that don’t even try to be based on the web?

That’s what I think.

If search engines truly only show the “existence” of forums, then the open web is truly over.

This is a security issue, not a content issue.

There is nothing wrong with universities posting pornography.

This is evident from the fact that Japanese universities research traditional pornographic art from that country.
