I’m sorry to hear that! Several things to check/try
1) I see the confirmation email coming from “rac...@discoursemail.com”, with
subject line "[Racket Discussions] Confirm your new account”
Maybe it’s in your junk folder?
2) You can always ignore the given url and just go to
Thanks!

Gotcha, thanks. As long as we were warned! I thought I remembered Sam
mentioning something along the lines of an "AWS grant," but my memory is
unreliable here.

Good questions:
1) Yes, Sam mentioned the discourse group at RacketCon, and there was some
“hallway” discussion about it.
2) No, no sponsor was involved. Yikes! Indeed, I’m not aware that Racket *has*
any sponsors currently, aside from the research and infrastructure grants that
are being
Thanks for checking on this. I'd expect something like a CoC more than a ToS in

If you don't mind, I have a couple of follow up questions.
- Were "rank-and-file" Racket contributors alerted to this change in advance?
Say, in a RacketCon speech? I may have
I’m actually very heartened to see the boilerplate here; it sounds like this is
something we can edit, and not something imposed by Discourse. If that’s the
case, then it certainly seems likely that we can find some language (or, more
importantly, *lack* of language) that makes more of us

I'm not sure who 'the company' is, either, but they appear to be called

Hi Sage,
It looks like the same text, and has the same last updated date, as the
Haskell Discourse TOS.
I think it is the default text provided by Discourse for the free hosting.
I don't think anyone has the time or expertise to rewrite it, but I'm sure
specific items could be looked at if they
Many thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate that your time and inbox space is
at a premium, and I’ll try to be careful about posting things to more than one
forum.
Best,

Also: Apologies. That came off as rude. No offense intended.
But I have to ask, who wrote the ToS? Who is "the company" in its
context? Discord? One of the Racket team's universities? A sponsor?

Thanks for letting us know. When should people expect to unsubscribe?
I read the ToS, privacy policy, and thoughts. Hard pass.

My personal opinion is that, if we want Discourse to be a replacement of
the mailing list, then we should treat it like one. Right now, it’s a
combination of the mailing list, wiki, FAQ site, and whatnot. And I don’t
want one more email in my inbox when someone decides to add an entry to the
FAQ.
I've long been in the basically-content-with-the-mailing-list camp, but
I've recently come around to the view that the status quo is untenable. I
looked into it after Racket 'Con and discovered the mailing list had shrunk
especially much for me, because the Google Groups spam filters were letting
Wait, you think that’s high traffic? Gee whiz, the mailing list *has* shrunk,
hasn’t it?
Okay, that was not an entirely serious reply, but I do think that in contrast
to the discord & slack channels, the discourse is likely to be searchable and
at least lightly curated six months from now.
I could be in the minority here, but as an early proponent of Discourse to
replace the mailing list (even before RacketCon), I feel reluctant to join
it after observing it for a while. It has a very high traffic, with almost
100% of the contents being cross-posted everywhere else (and vice versa)
TL;DR: Go to
https://racket.discourse.group/invites/okLTSrQw1T
and sign up for Racket Discourse (https://racket.discourse.group/)
# Thoughts behind the move:
Over time, it has become steadily more apparent that email-only
mailing lists are an outdated communication medium for the Racket
Racket Discourse!
Sam announced this on day two of RacketCon so it is public, but I thought
I’d spread the word as not everyone was able to attend or watch all the
videos yet.
It is a bit like google groups in that you have a web interface and a
mailing list mode.
