I still like the idea of forums and still use a bunch of them, but different forums being somewhat compatible to each other has quite some advantages from my perspective. For me it would be great concept of having independent websites that can exchange data via ActivityPub and people can either visit the website or consume the content from another instance and with their app of choice.
In this case, why bother with the Fediverse in the first place and why should we not go back to the forums of yesteryear?

There are many instances worth federating with.
