Many people are not aware that this is mostly a English internet thing.
I still frequent a few forums in Dutch and Germen. Still around, still modded by volunteers, still great.
Since AI essentially solved translation I even frequent Russian forums again. Still rocking PhpBB often!
There was a huge wave of everyone jumping to Facebook groups in the US. I feel like facebook likely wasn’t at critical mass yet everywhere so they probably missed it. Then it became pretty quickly obvious that sending your traffic to facebook wasn’t necessarily the best idea. So hopefully they learned from our mistake or had better foresight
how actually good is it at russian? online russian is just over halfway full of esoteric slang, multilingual puns and references
I mostly frequent forums hosting stuff westerns forums wont such as firmwares and roms.
Its perfectly fine for me, really. Sometimes I read nonsense in English and thats probably slang in Russian, yeah
> Since AI essentially solved translation I even frequent Russian forums again.
I'm struggling with the connection between these two things. It sounds like you used to frequent Russian forums before AI essentially solved translation. That being the case, you are surely able to understand the Russian forums. So what changed?
