i dont see how it would be easier on discord, discord is literally known only for bot/hacked account issues. I’ve never seen a spam bot on a forum before.
Plus nobody is likely to target a forum, everybody is targeting discord already. And on top of that the discord banning/automoderation isnt great, i’ve heard its getting better though.
I follow a niche community and the recent bans for their board is all spam bots even in 2024. I don’t want to put up with that nonsense and discord actively tries to curb that so the choice is easy.
idk you’d have to compare it between a few forums, and a few discord servers of the same size in order to figure it out.
I’d still be surprised to see people actually botting forums. It really just doesn’t make any sense.
I mean I have compared it and bots are still relentless on forums.
