Apropos of not much, I thought I'd share my recent experience with mailing lists vs. new technologies (Slack, Forum, Dicus, etc.)
Recently, Elastic moved their several mailing lists (discuss, dev, etc.) to Discourse. Suddenly, no more messages in my elasticsearch inbox folder and I have to go to their website to see anything. Totally broke my interaction with the Elasticsearch community despite using Elasticsearch and associated tools at $WORK. It's too much hassle to remember to go to the Elastic discourse site and see what's happening. Perhaps I'm just an old-far sysadmin who likes his email too much, but the value in being able to browse the emails that have come in easily and pick/choose messages to read just works for me.
