i started using the internet in the late 2000’s and still remember when you search for something most of the times it would return with a forum post … now its just random websites … if you ever need real and concise answer you have to add site:reddit.com at every search and since discord or twitter are not crawlable by these search crawlers they are not mentioned . Where did all those forums went…are there still active forums ?
XDA is pretty active
Niche phone ROMs are always found on telegram and it’s really annoying. I don’t want to use telegram. Especially since if I’m on XDA looking for ROMs it’s because my phone is fucked and telegram requires a phone to set up and login
It’s mind boggling that any privacy focused community uses Telegram.
Its the most privicy friendly app with “brand recognition”. Not really saying much
