Is there an alternative to the punBB forum that is just as simple and fast, but more modern?

Question

CMS

It is necessary to set up a simple forum for communication on an independent platform - just discuss this and that with friends without fear of a ban from Facebook)))

I immediately thought about punBB, but maybe something else has been invented over the years? Maybe with a built-in chat)) or something else - I don't really follow the news lately.

I don't want Flarum. He's cool, but something about him confuses me))

In general, advise plz. Thank you.

Z.Y. It occurred to me now: or is it like Discord only on your server - or will it be cumbersome?

Answer 1

Flarum is the only one in this segment.
