It’s undoubtedly nice during that step of the process, but afterwards you’re on a platform that may not be well suited to the purpose. It’d be better just to make the new account on an actual forum. Granted, I use Bitwarden now, so I don’t sweat making new accounts anymore.

This makes me wonder if there is a centralized system for forums. We have stackexchange already, but that’s really designed to be a question and answer site.

Discourse, NodeBB and Flarum are all currently working on ActivityPub federation support. The first two have some basic support already available.

Edit: I read "decentralized". The "centralized" system for forums is obviously Reddit.
