Y’all, the UK’s law about needing an ID to be on any social media platform over 10,000 users is the canary in the coal mine. Similar laws have already been proposed by US states and other countries. On a long enough timeline, this is coming for us all.

So, with that in mind, I want to get in early with some good old fashioned forum sites. You know, the kind that have no app and don’t need my Fing ID to let me sign up.

Any topic welcome as long as the community is active and strong.

    reminds me of Korean internet, where you need to go through rigorous and complex verification using your national ID to even create an account on a shitty website. and then you need to login daily and post consistently to even unlock basic features. and the points accrue slower than karma; people’s reactions don’t matter nearly as much as just logging in daily and waiting a long time.

    Korean website design is by far, hands down, the worst design we’ve ever come up with in the internet. but hey they got fast speeds!
