Julieta Shem:

> A tool I never investigated properly is Discourse.

It is advertised as an alternatvie to mailing lists, but I
have not found it so.  No, it does not work like a mailing
list at all.  It garbles my beautiful plain-text hard-
wrapped formatting.  It even fails to display my messages in
a monospace font unless I send Markdown direct from my
e-mail client (which is difficult and stupid).  It requires
of me to use a modern browser on a modern OS on a modern PC,
even if only to register and enable its incomplete mailing-
list mode.  A mailing list must be acessible to anyone with
but an e-mail client, without any browser, let alone a
phone. I have complained about it, but nobody cares, people
and projects are moving away from Usenet, IRC, and mailing
lists to Discourse and Discourd. Nobody seems to care
anymore.
