The future is everyone having their own server and their own stuff, their own little BBS/Forum/etc... basically, the 1980s all over again.
In order to get there, we have to solve computer security, so everyone can run their own stuff without it getting owned in a heartbeat.
Without that step, we're all doomed to things like walled gardens and "servers" on Discord.
It's fortunate that computer security was solved in the 1970s. It's unfortunate that nobody listened for decades as Moore's law made hardware insanely better.
People running their own stuff, moderating it, and establishing reputation is the only way to fly.
