My $0.02: I consider julia-users as a mailing-list. In general, my main communication is through emails. I write the posts to the mailing list using a webmail interface, but I use to read the posts of others from an email client or from mobile. Of course I can adapt myself and use another platform to communicate, but it would certainly take some time to be used to it. My vote is to keep the mailing list working as it is, even if we decide to put efforts in the other platform too.
