Maybe I'm waffling, but I think the shift is that the younger generation

Younger generation are all on phones and apps, too, so WhatsApp (which
I've recently had to get used to because of another community that's
using it a lot) and Tik Tok and Snapchat. The latter two are quite
different and no substitute for this list, but they are where the kids
are as far as I know.
I'm quite happy with email, myself. And in text mode, with (neo)mutt!
I suppose if you asked the same question to
newsgroups, the response may
be the same, they're on the web now.
Yes, there's a multitude of separate web based forums, though Reddit seems a
closer equivalent to the newsgroups world, with it huge diversity of
topics all under one roof.
