Pc gaming was a lot smaller back then too. More serious communities all had a vent or teams peak. That only started to die down when xfire came out and brought anothed influx of non pc people (or someone thst only played one game like ever quest) into gaming spaces.
Less centralized services is a good thing. As long as self hosting isn't intentionally worse in some way I see this as a great thing for competition. I don't want discord viewing my data, and I don't want to pay them to be able to share a video over 8mb with what is essentially the new form of group chat for a lot of people.
