To me, when communities choose a managed platform that didn't exist on the old internet, I assume that community would have just died if the managed platform didn't exist. It has never been easier or cheaper to run a phpBB instance than it is right now.
That is what I mean when I say we did not lose the old internet - it's more available to us than ever, but people choose not to use it. Like...it is not "lost," it's unpopular. I agree with you about all the drawbacks of WhatsApp, but it sounds like your community doesn't.
