I don't think it's meant to replace this mailing list; it's still 
mentioned on the Python website. At least initially the forum was 
intended mostly for core dev discussions, as far as I understand it.


The initial announcement (which only talks about python-comitters 
being migrated): https://www.mail-archive.com/python-committers@python.org/msg06151.html

The site with the discussions: https://discuss.python.org/


There are several sections on the Discourse forum; the "Help" section 
broadly has the same purpose as this mailing list. I use both, and use 
Discourse in email mode - the forum's there, but >90% of my interaction 
is via email - I file it and python-list to the same "python" folder 
here and lossely treat them the same.


Cheers,

Your posts are showing up on the mailing list here just it seems.  I
didn't know there was a Discourse forum.  Is it supposed to be sync with
the mailing list and USENET?  Or is it intended to replace this mailing
list?  I rarely see Python devs on this list, so maybe they've chosen to
hang out exclusively in Discourse, which would be unfortunate.

The Discourse format has never appealed to me. It's way to unstructured
and gamified.  I much prefer the mailing list, but alas it seems like
most open source projects are moving to Discourse.

Am I banned from Discuss forum?

2023-02-10 Thread Marco Sulla
I was banned from the mailing list and Discuss forum for a very long time.
Too much IMHO, but I paid my dues.

Now this is my state in the forum:
- I never posted something unrespectful in the last months
- I have a limitation of three posts per threads, but only on some threads
- Some random posts of mine are obscured and must be restored manually by
moderators
- I opened a thread about the proposal of a new section called
Brainstorming. It was closed without a reason.
- I can't post links
- Two discussions I posted in section Idea were moved to Help, without a
single line of explanation.

If I'm not appreciated, I want to be publicly banned with a good reason, or
at least a reason.
