I'm seeing Groups.io show up more for hobbies/interests I have. It seems email can be a way to slow down heated discussions. Perhaps at the expense of push-back on using more email?
replyAnyone have any experiences to share with moving their discussion groups from Discord to Groups.io?
discord being a closed, unsearchable platform is one of its main features.
replySo you want to go back to mailing list and run your own email server?
replyMaybe time for a Usenet renaissance?
replyNo, we’d like to go back to the culture that created protocols to solve our needs, such that people could create interoperable servers and clients to implement those protocols.
replyEmail is an open protocol, perfectly suited for delivering messages between people. Discord is a closed application, unsearchable, any server or account may be nuked at discord's discretion, thus it's entirely unsuited to replace e.g. a forum.
replyYou do understand the difference?
