Yes. As someone who often has to subscribe to various mailing lists, I can say they are very annoying. And the reason is that, often times you want to track only a single topic and nothing else. But you can't: you either get everything or nothing at all. You either subscribed, or you are not, and just hope that you email will pass spam-filters and that people who reply to you wouldn't forget to add you to CC. It is an unwieldy system. As a disclaimer though, I probably won't subscribe to Discourse myslelf, Idk if that matters. I still only subscribed here just because it's a very low-activity list, so I didn't even have to create filters for it, etc. But at the moment I don't develop a Pidgin addon (I did at the past, but not anymore), so my presence here is not justified. So, here's that, just FTR. > When it comes to this migration, would you like to have users imported > into the new system? (Please answer yes/no/doesn't matter) Yes. If it's possible, then sounds fun, why not. It would mean people won't even notice that migration happened, sure. > When it comes to the archives, would you prefer to have it imported into > the new system? (Please answer yes/no/doesn't matter) Yes. It's good for indexing by search engines, as a bunch of useful information would appear on the new Discorse system. _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
