I'm entirely fine with using discourse WHEN it has a functioning mailing list mode. I am not against discourse as such, I am against making changes that forces everyone to consume the information in exactly the same way.
Ensure that mailing list mode works in a way that the ones who needs that feature approves of and I will switch sides in an instant. I will not applaud a change where I see no benefit and where it impacts others. Br M On 27 August 2019 17:44:16 CEST, Dan Book <gri...@gmail.com> wrote: >This conversation is pretty pointless.
