Reddit has quarantined r/vaccinelonghaulers One of the mods there (coofboye) is also banned from ALL of Reddit because of a dispute between him and r/covidLongHaulers mods.

Well, I know that r/DebateVaccines is not quarantined.

I don’t believe anybody has tried Google Groups, which isn’t very popular anyways.

Assuming you can invite your users there, it should work fine, right?

I’ll check out the videos, though I’m pretty sure that some people will have too much trouble with a forum and we’ll have to reach them another way (e.g. mailing list).

They’re more like social networks rather than forums (especially Diaspora, which is more akin to Google+).

And one could argue that social media platforms are forums.

Using Discourse as a social media platform

There’s an argument to be made that forums are already social media, but that’s very much a “is a hot dog a sandwich” situation… what does this achieve? is it about familiarity with mainstream social media? does it make things easier to use?
