Reddit is _fine_ for this; it's just another place to host forums. The significant problem with reddit is that you have less control over it than an independent forum - but even with independent forums, someone can always take their ball and go home. (Usenet doens't suffer from this, though.)

And I don't know why it disappeared! Maybe because Slack and Discord finally opened up group chat to the masses who didn't like IRC. (Like it or not, Slack and Discord have defacto replaced IRC as the systems of choice for most people who don't know what DNS stands for.)

Reddit would have been fine if they didn’t make the UX as god awful as possible on a mobile browser. The day they cut off the old. subdomain I think they’ll be in for a surprise.
