April 3, 2024, was the day my best friend and I decided to bring a personal project to life with the help of a few other friends. One year of instance and a lot of learning.
Discourse managed to revive in me the sense of community that I had lost on Reddit. “One signup for each day of the year” that’s how we joke about it there, with 365 members since launch. I want to express my full support and gratitude to Discourse and all contributors. You are the resistance amid so much digital chaos. Thank you to our friends from the Fediverse, ActivityPub, Lemmy, Mastodon, Friendica, and everyone else. Long live the best forum CMS of the last decade!
