Re: the end of the [racket-users] mailing list and the migration to Discourse as a forum for Racket

I searched for "Etan Wexler" on google groups and found other older messages, but they seem more normal, human written. But I can't quite decide whether this latest message is human art, or maybe ai art / an ai or a bot conversing. What I find strange is the repetitions within the text, but

Re: the end of the [racket-users] mailing list and the migration to Discourse as a forum for Racket

Hello Racketeers, I wouldn't take it as passive-aggressive per-se. It's just super confusing. Especially if you watch the discussion about future of Racket at RacketCon where Matthias has stated it pretty clearly and other confirmed that - the core team is doing all infrastructure maintenance

Re: the end of the [racket-users] mailing list and the migration to Discourse as a forum for Racket

This is by far the strangest message I've ever read about Racket. It comes a close second to that all-caps spam we get constantly on the mailing list! I'd pay good money to know what's written between the lines. It sounds like really, really passive-aggressive. Dex On Monday, November 22,

Re: the end of the [racket-users] mailing list and the migration to Discourse as a forum for Racket

I think I agree with pretty much everything you’ve written here. I will note that your problem with sending email to the mailing list from a different address *is* one I’ve experienced, many hundreds of times. I think your #1 and your #5 is more or less what blog.racket-lang.org is. I see

Re: the end of the [racket-users] mailing list and the migration to Discourse as a forum for Racket

That first email reads like a cross between a mathematical proof and some kind of satire. Good stuff :) The broad communication needs seem to be: (1) a bulletin board / a channel for announcements (2) a forum / a channel for discussions (3) chat / a realtime channel. (4) a knowledge base (5) a

Yes, I believe that replies by email are currently enabled. Here, let me test that. … Oh, yeah… can’t do that, the incoming email address isn’t the one that I send from. Sigh. Perhaps someone else can try this? One thing that I know isn’t set up yet is starting a new topic by email. I know

Re: the end of the [racket-users] mailing list and the migration to Discourse as a forum for Racket

To add, since I forgot about the spammer: By "leaving the list to die inactive," I am assuming that the list would not be co-opted and would still function just fine as an archive. But I would love to keep the option, even if I only have a small few people to talk to. On 11/22/21 11:40 AM,

Re: the end of the [racket-users] mailing list and the migration to Discourse as a forum for Racket

Since I missed the hallway I'll settle with a belated comment. Over my lifetime I have accumulated hundreds of accounts. Breaches led to incessant spamming. Thankfully I've kept my passwords varied and strong, so the damage hasn't terrible to contain. I tried to delete accounts to manage my

Re: the end of the [racket-users] mailing list and the migration to Discourse as a forum for Racket

There are no plans of closing the mailing list. Things take time. Different forums for communication have different strengths. Discourse might attract an audience that is unfamiliar to mailing lists. There is no need to rush things however. In due course maybe the number of users on the forum
