many community members (including me) just want SE to go back to what it was a couple years ago
So say we all.
But that's not gonna happen, though, is it? If anything, the SE staff seems onboard with the new way, actually doubling-down on it judging from the legalese they've been serving ever since.
I agree with zozbot234, it only takes years, it happens. Natural cycle of creation / destruction, or rather things changing (sadly in business, usually the more successful / corporate, the closer to the bottom we get generally but that's besides the point I guess).
It all just reminds me that "this is why we can't have nice things" (fact: it's not easy nor natural to run a corp like your local gaming club, spirits and all), and that there's a reason why "new things" will keep emerging and have that "freshness" about them, a circumstancial best-fit.
Hopefully we'll still be able to browse existing SE pages, but activity may progressively shift elsewhere. And again. And again. Oh look, it's 2035 already.
