'''Discourse''' is the most horribly ugly and ambitious modern forum software out there. Born from web 3.0 hype in the early 2010s, it tried to revamp what an internet forum was by doing weird little things like removing sigs, making quoting hard, making avatars tiny, putting in infinite scrolling, encouraging use of a subdomain, and a template so minimal it takes a CSS expert to make it look not like a complete joke.
