I wouldn't say we are losing traffic because of the Shroomery FB group... but I do believe it comes down to accessibility. Modern generations of internet users are born into an expectation of seamless app integration and aren't as accustomed to taking the time to learn how to use unique feature sets across different UI's in the way that those of us who grew up before or during the dawn of the internet are. Having to register an account to participate here, in addition to our relatively poor mobile device experience, are two pretty major barriers to entry that the Facebook group doesn't struggle with. The volunteer staff there is also doing a hell of a job, considering all new members and posts must be moderator approved.
Generally speaking, forums are being ghosted thanks to mega-platforms like Facebook and Reddit. We do have something unique here, but as time marches on, people seem less and less inclined to find it and use it, since they can get most of what they (think they) need through the major platforms that they are already a part of.

Actually, now that I've taken a look at it, the Mush Cult forum is still going strong. Like you say, all the forums have taken a hit in the last few years. Some have even gone under. This one is riding it out better than most. The #1 competitor for Mush Cult is probably Youtube, but it doesn't offer anywhere near the real-time community education that one can get from this site.
Maybe the third-party outsourcing of shitposting is a good thing after all.

I sympathize with your pain, but a psychiatrist is only there to shove drugs down your throat.
Find a decent talk therapist instead, you will thank me later.

Understood, just be wary of the psyc Dr's trying to shove a pill down you.
