Meta Tests Reddit-Style Forum App Built on Facebook Groups
Meta is quietly testing a new discussion app called Forum, built on the infrastructure of Facebook Groups. The app allows users to post in groups using a nickname, rather than their real identity, and includes an AI-powered tab that aggregates answers from across communities. This move positions Meta to compete with platforms like Reddit by offering anonymous participation and AI-curated content. The test is currently limited and not publicly announced.
