I have no desire to use Discourse, and nearly certainly won't sign up for it (I don't even understand why it came to be). I have never used Rust discourse besides happening once upon it and reading the linked thread.
My membership in mailing lists is neatly sorted and segregated, easily readable on my mobile devices without extra signing up or poking at badly designed websites. Discourse gives me zero advantage for yet *another* website signup, and probably with less usability, given my experience of web site development & design. It's worth noting that every single libre software project I have any interest in (from the arcane to the popular) maintains the mailing list as the primary official channel of communiques. If the Rust admins kill the mailing list, I will probably drop out of participation (what a loss. ;) ) and limit participation to lurking reddit's /r/rust (I don't contribute thoughtful stuff to reddit in part due to the fact that "mobile website = awful, readers = ehhh" and occasional IRC questions. I am sure I sound like a crabby crank, but, meh. On Sat, Dec 27, 2014 at 9:02 AM, Clark Gaebel <cg.wowus...@gmail.com> wrote: > There was a thread about it on...
