Welcome!
Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁

Forums are functionally much better than Discord, no question there, but what drew people to Discord and keeps them there is the chat affordances. You don't feel like you're participating in an agora, you just send stuff. There's much less pressure doing that.
Fortunately it is posible to combine both a forum architecture and a chat interface: this is what Zulip does and is to me the best replacement. Its major shortcoming is that it isn't federated but alternative clients should take inspiration from it
It's a compromise, but I'll take the Zulip approach compared to Matrix everyday.
It feels better to be able to quickly switch between Zulip accounts on every app compared to Element X still not supporting multi account, Fluffychat doing it but not supporting the latest version of the call features, etc.
