#Mailinglists
@PinoBatch at least #IRC and #MailingLists have tools to #archive conversations and make them searchable, like #PiperMail for #eMail...
- i.e. one doesn't need to have been subscribed to the #LKML at the time just to find messages where @torvalds made a decision or chewed out someone for testing his patience and goodwill.
And that is a good thing: #Transparency can only work outside of #InformationBlackholes which non-portable & proprietary platforms are.
Dave Cheney went further in 2017: Please stop using chat in general for open-source communities. Even a free protocol like IRC, XMPP, or Matrix disadvantages people with a full-time job and people in less-privileged time zones. Use issue trackers, mailing lists, newsgroups, and other asynchronous forums instead. 2/4

@Rycaut @Daojoan congratulatioms, that's just "#MailingLists with extra steps" or a built-in feature of @zulip ...
Community leaders are often too quick to segment conversations into different channels, which effectively hides the activity.

Do people still use mailing lists?
I've been trying to find an email hoster that does mailing lists, which seems hard to find. Now I'm trying to setup my own mail server with Mailman integration and it's really really painful. Documentation and examples are missing stuff all over the place, shitty web apps, all that. Why? Does just no one use it anymore, so no one really cares? I don't quite get it 🙈
Why use mailing lists in 2025? Apparently, retro email chains are making a comeback, bringing with them all the excitement of reading the endless headers and "X-Virus-Scanned" footnotes. 📧🤦♂️ Who knew dragging the '90s into the future would be so...innovative? 🚀

The decommissioning of the WebAIM list is a perfect opportunity to recognize and promote the other longest-serving mailing list dedicated to accessibility: the Webdev (or Web Design Update) newsletter run by @laura_carlson out of the University of Minnesota Duluth.
Since 2002, this weekly email newsletter has reliably collected and categorized the best articles on web accessibility. I can't recommend it highly enough.

#IRC and #Mailinglists with their problems, [and they both have many] are at least #indexable and #searchable to the point that I could propable make a #supercut of #LKML folks shouting at each other...
- I mean they already to so in the code of the #kernel!

That mixed feeling you get when you finally unsubscribe from a group of tech-related mailing lists that you've been on for between 20 and 25 years. And then delete the tens of thousands of emails from them.
That feeling. It happened, and it's a bit weird.

Anyone else noticed that more and more often #mailinglists of #network operator groups are used to request off-list responses on contact points to certain service providers, because there are no contact points listed otherwise?
Ormai colleziono social come se fossero francobolli, ma mi manca usnet e le vecchie mailing list di yahoo gruppi di inizio 2000...

The “we regret to inform you that our site is closing" bulkmail vendors are busy. They're sending #spam promoting one site, even as they send mails announcing that the other (identical) site is closing.
The countdown timer on the 'closing' site (which has been announcing the site's impending closure in less than a day for more than 3 weeks) is exactly sync’d with the timer on the other, but one says “… shutting down in …" while the other says “Next database update in …”
