I think there are several reasons why mailing lists are less accessible to
new users than a forum. The sorts of users I am thinking of here are less

I'm young, and I like Evolution much more than my webmail.

have to trust you not to let it take anything away from your work on Uruk

You could go for a straightforward name like "Free Software

Okay, You're Right. OYROIAF Is A Forum.

That can be done. You can even move between the two without issue. It's

That's a terrible idea, we don't want an army of systemd trolls. Regular
trolls are enough, don't make it worse please.

Not for me in particular. There are some free software forums already:
This one, but in theory it's supposed to be only for Trisquel
freepo.st
FreeAsInFreedom Raddle subforum
Also there are a bunch of IRC channels, mailing lists...
There is already one such forum, albeit in French (it is Quebec-based). The
forum software is Discourse, as far as I know. You may want to contact the
owners of that forum so that they can help you set up a new instance in
English.
https://forumsdulibre.quebec/
As far as I understand, the proposed solution is the one used here for
instance, based on GNU Mailman 3: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/
You can search the archive.
I meant using a search engine and finding some information in the html
archive of a mailing list.
Besides, i want to have the freedom of using webmail and no dektop mail
client.
You haven't used a proper email client then (or maybe it wasn't configured
correctly) because any such one will have "visual styling and all the nested
replies."
I personally don't like mailing lists and I wouldn't even know how to
subscribe to a mailing list in such a way that my mailbox doesn't get flooded
with unfiltered posts. I definitly wouldn't like to set up a seperate folder
for this list each and every time I switch my mail client.
And
The Trisquel communit yis so strong that people from otehr communities ask Free
Software questions here even when unrelated to Trisquel. Pretty impressive.

Just with the people asking for general advice on free software in this
forum, you could probably create a nice community
I don't know what you mean by "Less accessible", but in regards to
accessibility, I see that mailing lists have several advantages:
1. Don't need a new account, use your own email. It's easier to
remember. The only thing that *can change* is the password (however,
this password change isn't
This is a great idea. I think the FSF has a forum for members, but it's
pretty dead. We certainly do need a free software forum that everyone could
access though. Let me know if there is any way I can help.
That is true. Although, as I've said before, mailing lists have their uses
but function very differently to forums. Not everyone wants every post to be
sent to their mail Inbox and in my opinion mailing lists are less accessible
to newer or more casual users/visitors.
I like it. Simple and makes it clear it's a forum.
I just remembered that there *is* such kind of central group:
libreplanet-discuss, it's a public mailing list.
Group's page: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Activists
Mailing list information and subscription page:
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
There
I'm in.

Yes, it is a good idea but you will need quite a bit of help. :/
Libreforum.net? just a thought. not a bad idea though.
FNF's Not a Forum?
Great idea, I would love a forum for Free Software in general. I have no idea
about what it should be called, though.
It should be called Free and Open Front
(FOF) ... Don't be limited by only free software either, free hardware too!

Any incentive that would unite the community (that is rather spread out) is a
good idea, the question would be, will you have enough participants for it to
be worthwile.A few years ago i addressed "somewhere" a similar project that
would put all GNU/Linux Libre distributions under one
I think you would be very fortunate to pursue such idea. In fact I also feel
the lack of such as a board purely dedicated to the free-software community.
I imagine it would be very nice to create one using a mix of what the
Trisquel forum is with somewhat of a normal image board like 8ch is.
Hi alimiracle - yes, great idea! As I was saying in this thread, I really
feel like the free software community is lacking a central discussion hub,
where new and existing ideas can be discussed openly and people who are new
to free software (or even those that don't agree with it) can be
