I’ve been concerned for a while that local community forums like mine are dying out on the open web.

They’re being superseded by Facebook Groups, and Zuck is now dedicating further effort to this feature:

Luckily Discourse still has the edge, technically, in a multitude of ways. And, of course, our forums are out on the open web, so are indexed in search engines and are linkable from other websites. 👍

Facebook threatens our model, though, and I’m pleased to see renewed effort from the Discourse team on the “Groups” feature - an important battleground in the war vs. Facebook.
