So basically the same issue that took down the original iteration of the Phora.
It's never gonna stop. PHP upgrades are driven by the PHP developer system, who are all beholden to Zuck these days. Zuck says, I'm forcing y'all to upgrade and PHP devs stay 'how high, Sir?'
That's because the PHP dev gravy train isn't in maintaining sites like the Phora, but in expanding the FB eco system. It's literally the only game in town if you want to make a living at PHP. That and cleaning up after the 'planned obsolescence' FB is driving by doing this -- Muh broken LAMP stack, Muh broken wordpress blawg.
FB is dying though. I don't know anyone under 30 who uses it. FB Messenger is still popular among the 20 somethings (but they don't give a shit about PHP websites and just want the app on their phone to talk still, to their friends, which has nothing to do with PHP). Just like here -- everyone talks in the SB, and poasting is a hobby now.
Comms are important though (esp for #OSINT)... we need to keep all the channels open... and well, here we are.
Prediction: FB will one day go 'full Apple' (never go full Apple) and replace PHP with its own proprietary language. Their window of opportunity may be dying too fast for that (though Chink funding suport would help).
Swift has climbed 10 places to become the 10th most popular programming language.

Programming in Swift is like saying 'I'm not only a dev-slave but I *like* my Apple supplied choke-chain'. iFags.
