I like the concept of ActivityPub (though Tildes feels cognitively easier to use). But I actually think internet forums are a dying format; I enjoy them but I don’t want to talk with bots, read bots arguing, or post more stuff used to train bots. I miss having little online corners of nerds being nerdy, but I think a lot of it will have to come offline to remain "authentic."
Sounds like we just need a captcha to post. What else but bots would make forums and aggregators go away?
