phpBB VS lenny

phpBB (https://www.phpbb.com/) phpBB, short for "PHP Bulletin Board," is a popular open-source forum software written in PHP scripting language.

We go old school baby 😎. A 90s solution for 90s bikes.

Explore going extremely old school with your own phpBB community. Can't enshittify a forum that exists outside of time and space!

No. It’s based on phpBB.

I have not tried this one, but Postmill [1] is similar to HN and phpBB [2] is an off the shelf forum platform with incredible moderator capabilities but I think an add-on is required for voting.

Just like this is a phpBB forum: https://forum.ubuntu-it.org/ and this is the software behind it: https://www.phpbb.com/

Boop

This precedent exists. A fork called Lenny once existed for what seems to be that purpose: "Sadly, it only exist because of disrespectful behavior of the original author." It has since been archived.

Lenny, a fork of it was trying to fix this but has basically been abandoned: https://github.com/innereq/lenny

Having more users isn't going to help if the core developers are anti-diversity.

Well, there's already a fork with it removed so bigots can simply use it

The censorship-free Lenny fork (of Lemmy) is available from https://github.com/innereq/lenny (mirrored at moonbutt.science/innereq/lenny).

Whoever interested in Lemmy check out fork of Lemmy with removed stupid slur filter https://github.com/innereq/lenny

There's a already a fork https://github.com/innereq/lenny

Do you mean Lenny?
