Previously one needed technical abilities. Now one needs to cry enough to get someone or a whole group banned from the unified platform. For a small forum being offline for a day or two is not an issue. Even if admins prove to have less patience than the attacker, the forum hivemind can easily migrate to another, new or old, forum. With some losses, but it's still just changing one small soapbox to another. Not a massive endevour like moving off FB/Twitter to self-hosted.
