Here are four tools for creating, supporting, and enriching communities of practice: peer conferences, listservs, Slack, and Zoom

If I wanted to set up a most basic listserv for my immediate neighborhood, as a low-barrier alternative to Facebook/Nextdoor/etc., what would be the best place to do that?

Right now it looks like Groups.io or setting up my own Mailman server?

@mdemeulder I hope you'll have a rewarding and satisfactory experience using mastodon (and other actipub services).
In ways, mastodon is more like a #listserv because no "algorithm" suggests what to see: one sees and is seen by other members of one's server. Also seen by any followers one has from any server. And (lastly) seen by anyone on a server/instance where someone follows you, if they (others) look at that view.
Post-lastly, search results, esp. with #hashtags.

I maintain an email discussion list on google groups for a small nonprofit community group. We have about 20 participants. I'm looking to bail from google groups, mainly because of the unremovable footer in every message that gets repeated ad infinitum. Can anyone suggest an uncomplicated alternative? I want to keep it as an email listserv (not a discord-type thing, etc.) Thanks!

iโ€™ve been really happy with groups.io as a meetup replacement for #triangleBikeCamping. itโ€™s free and just email, which everybody has. i post events, and then offload the ticketing to tickettailor.com, which only takes a percentage if i charge for tickets, which is rare.

Before I could access the Internet, I was on BITNET. For a system based on remote job entry, it was surprisingly useful and fun! LISTSERV originated there and most communication was non-interactive. There still was a way to do messaging and even a chat network existed that inspired IRC. The limitations of BITNET resulted in a lot of creative solutions.

Amusing post on the neighborhood listserv, today.

So a friend approached me with an intriguing #question that I feel must exist in some form:

Is there a way to use #email chains as a database for #forum-like experiences? Email the server to get a list of forums/topics, then subscribe to have the server send new messages to your email & you can add to it by replying. The goal is to not require people to have yet another website+login to keep track of.

I know about #LISTSERV, but it's way too expensive to just try out/use with a small group!

The #AlgebraicTopology listserv that Don Davis has been running is at the end of its life cycle. People are talking about the alternatives and server costs, but does anyone know of a #p2p alternative which could perform this task for free?
