The problem with forums is that you end visiting 5~10 different forums, each with their own login, and some of them might be restricted at work (not that you should visit them often).

So it's easier to have 2~4 aggregators in where all the information you desire resides, even if in each of them there are different forums.

A unified entry point helps adoption.



So, instead of platforms, other option would be a client software for different forums. Like Tapatalk. Is there anything like that but libre and/or desktop?


Reddit really did a good job of moving the masses away from site-specific forums.
