For a true decentralized forum, I would probably prefer https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ .. the protocol seems nice and understandable, doesn't use block-chain, just distributed append-log, based on user white-lists, user/machine is identified by their pub-key and it works even on local network without access to the internet.

I played around with the git-ssb project that allows you to even host and collaborate on git repositories stored in the distributed log.

Only thing I don't really like is the reliance on the npm ecosystem, so I am waiting if they manage to finish a reimplementation of client and server in rust.
