Discourse and Discord are two different technologies, AIUI. I much prefer this style of email list to Discourse which seems like its based on a participation trophy mentality than the sharing of technical information. Several projects I am interested in have switched to it and in each case it has not won me over. There are also subreddits for each of the projects that I tend to prefer over the respective official Discourse instances. One of the biggest annoyances at least a couple of projects implement is automatic thread locking after some period of time. Sometimes troubleshooting an issue takes a long time and in that system one needs to start a new thread and link back to the prior one(s) for context. Here I can go back and add to a thread I have kept in my MailDir. Yes, I am old, a tail-end Boomer to be exact. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
