There's no real risk of moving away from e-mail.  This question comes up
once or twice a year, and the conclusion is always that the majority of
the users prefer e-mail.

Nobody minds if the mailing list is gatewayed to a forum, in a
high-quality way that does not adversely affect the mailing list.

Beyond that, I think that the attitude is generally that this is an
e-mail community and that there are forum-style communities that one can
join if one prefers that style.

I think the point is that Google Groups provides a high quality mailing list experience that is also gatewayed to a forum. It seems to be the only free solution out there that meets this requirement. I've been running a Google group for many years and have no complaints about the tech or the user experience.

I was hoping you had a forum with the info of the mailing list, but as a
forum, exactly as used to be the case I believe, and as Google groups
allows.

Maybe you're right and the time when this could be done for free has gone.

No idea, but if somebody wanted a Facebook-based community it would be
better to start with something that exists than to create yet another.

If I click on Community I at least see posts from 2020.
