What's a good #forum software to use?

I'm already familiar with #phpBB and #Discourse; want to know what else is out there that y'all actually would use and recommend.

25 years ago I launched and ran my very first #OpenSource project, it was #forum software written in Perl named #YaBB — Yet another Bulletin Board. While the original version of this project is more or less dead, some of it still lives on under a fork named Simple Machines Forums that you still can find here and there.

I’m somewhat tempted to reboot the YaBB franchise (perhaps under a better name, I bought some domains) in a model that better fits today’s Big Tech and AI-destroyer mode times.

Let me think this idea through in public a little bit. A thread. 🧵
