We're doing just fine with NNTP and Vladimir's forum software.
Using old communication software like NNTP is one example of that.
Compare with Rust's Discourse.
The only thing wrong with NNTP is that it isn't trend/hipster-compliant.
We have better things to deal with than endless Fire and Motion:

Not understanding the importance of package managers is another (DUB
still not part of official distro?) Compare with Rust's Cargo.
Dub does need work. It's great for simpler projects and libs, but it's
still next-to-useless for anything that JUST wants to participate in the
package repository and uses a different build system (or even rdmd for
that matter). There's some other issues as well. I've spent a lot of
time and effort trying to fix that, but it's been an exhausting uphill
battle, both technically and politically.
