Discord to Start Showing Ads for Gamers to Boost Revenue
> Tell me another platform that is free, has realtime chat, voice and video, has stable service, allows sharing images and other media, with good ownership management... and is open source.
Mattermost: https://mattermost.com/
Rocket.Chat: https://www.rocket.chat/
Nextcloud Talk: https://nextcloud.com/talk/
Self hosting and some assembly required. I've run all of them on cheap VPSes to explore a Slack/Discord replacement, neither was mindblowing but all of them seemed okay (Nextcloud's offering was rather barebones, though).
Audio and video support varies because getting those right is challenging, at best you'd just integrate with something like Jitsi, that one's actually pretty good for meetings and such: https://jitsi.org/ and has a cloud version too: https://meet.jit.si/ (yet people still go for Zoom and it's odd UI/UX choices)
I actually rather liked forums back in the day, but I guess nobody will be setting up that many phpBB instances in the current year, though projects like Discourse also seem promising: https://www.discourse.org/
I don't think many people at all will be leaving Discord, due to how entrenched the platform is (network effect): if you want people to help you with what you're working on, you go where they are, not vice versa.

Introducing the new Godot Forum
Discourse is also open source https://github.com/discourse/discourse

My views on NeoHaskell
I disagree. Lots of communities, e.g. Julia or Stan, use https://www.discourse.org. Discourse is GPL2 and emulates old Internet forums.

Is BuddyPress still a viable option to create a community-based website? Or should I be looking at other options?
Why isn't Discourse being listed here for forum software? It's open source and designed for modern communities. https://www.discourse.org/

Don't Use Discord as a Forum
Discourse is open source: https://github.com/discourse/discourse
You could hook it up to a mail provider and can host it yourself for less if you wanted.

Why does the mastodon.social's privacy policy template link to Discourse's GitHub?
I was reading mastodon.social's privacy policy, and noticed that the link at the bottom to Discourse's privacy policy links to Discourse's Github. I'm surprised because I thought it would be the privacy policy on discourse.org.

Think Twice Before You Use Discord for Your Community
Yep. Any platform run by someone else can kick you off for any reason, and time.
You should consider looking into running discourse, which is a modernized forum software: https://github.com/discourse/discourse
Nice examples of what it looks like:
https://discourse.nixos.org/
https://forum.level1techs.com/
As a bonus, the content and community will be accessible to search engines, so it’s easy to find answers to problems that gave been already been addressed.
In general, consider combining the two, where discourse is the anchor of the community that can’t be yanked out from under you, while discord is the one that sells the data from your players in exchange for free voice and text chat.
It’s also possible to enable logging in with discord credentials https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-discord-login-for-dis...
As well as pushing content from discord to discourse so it’s not hidden and losable: https://blog.discourse.org/2021/05/discord-and-discourse-bet...

Is there interest in a specialized forum for gifted people?
So, I'm asking myself if you would be interested in joining a good old-fashioned forum (probably using discourse as software) in order to communicate with other gifted people around the globe. And please add any ideas you might have for a platform like this.

Best way to host a small forum?
Excellent! Glad we could get you sorted! Hosting can be scary and it's okay to be afraid to touch things or not understand certain settings or terms. Especially if you're new. The key is to read the documentation. For your forum needs, this can be found at https://mybb.com and https://phpbb.com

PhpBB
I actually recommend myBB [0] over phpBB for anyone looking to set up a LAMP forum. It's cleaner, better written, and possibly better maintained and with a much less scary vulnerability history. I believe it started off as an attempt to create an OSS version of IPB (or was it vB?).

How can I create a forum using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?
As u/Marble_Wraith mentioned. You will find more help and information at r/webdev. That being said, building a Forum is somewhat complex, if you're planning to do so from scratch without any prior knowledge this could be a challenging first task. If it's also an option to use a pre-build app, then https://mybb.com/ is a good starting point. You can also find some information on YouTube about how to get it running.

What happened to the new offsite backup project?
If you want something done and nobody is doing it, it is best to do it yourself.

Got Me Kicked Off Nanny Job Fb group!!
She probably intimidated the group moderator, I can't see how any of that would have gotten you kicked out of a group. I suppose you could start your own group or even start one of those free forums like https://mybb.com/ and you decide how members will be vetted and of course everyone use a pseudonym. She probably has an alternate account that isn't her real name., hence why you can't block her. I suppose you could have an alternate account as well.
