Forums Meta Launches Reddit Competitor “Forum”

[Fudge Brownie]

Ooh I just read about this and thought you guys over here would be interested. Apparently it’s already caused Reddit’s stock to drop.

But I personally don’t think it’ll kill off Reddit because well it’s Meta…

Reddit stock drops almost 6% after Meta launches standalone app for online forums

Reddit shares fell after Meta released a standalone app for Facebook Groups called Forum.

Great, now I’ve got to change the name of the “Forums” prefix because generic ass Mark Fuckerberg and his geriatric team can’t come up with anything unique…

I just know Meta’s going to keep that thing on life support like they did with Horizon Worlds.

You know what? The prefix is staying as is.

Besides, Meta actually called it "Forum" not "Forums". They name things like cavemen, I swear.

OP, I fixed your title.

That's what you would expect from a guy who named his first site "Facesmash" to rate some girls in his college.

They should invest and improve groups etc

That's a natural forum and Reddit competitor.

It just needs investment and improved upon. No need to try and make a Reddit killer it's too big.

They just follow the line of "threads".

Oh fuck, first they removed status editing options from Messenger (you have to download separate Facebook app if you want to add music, etc) now they'll force us to use an app instead of using groups in the browser?

Messenger
Forums

Either uncreative af or dude's ego is so huge he thinks his apps are the *one and only* messenger and forums that people use.

Omg I know. I just want to move away from all meta products sometimes.

"Threads" was yesterday.

It's "Forum" now.

Tomorrow, they'll be doing "Website".

Then, "Internet".

Tbf they index mega quick so that's the only reason why I still use threads.

Facebook will soon be renamed to "Social Media".

If it’s going to have the same popularity as Threads, then it’s not going to be worth a lot in the upcoming years.
