Yes ! I'm also 200% convinced about that. Where I agree with the feeling of TiddlyTweeter (I suppose) is in not being able to do it from this communication tool for the community. I would struggle to envisage any software features that could significantly > improve the situation. > Even if Google hasn't totally abandoned Groups (an update should come one day, there's a beta <https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2020/03/new-google-groups-beta.html> phase for the G Suite), it's not the ideal tool to perform these moderation tasks. A proper forum do. In my opinion there are not many solutions. Discourse is one of them. The wiki function, for example, would be very useful to keep precious tips and tricks that get lost. A silly thing but to be able to like posts is already feedback without necessarily overloading our mailboxes. To have real categories, while still keeping the possibility to answer by email (I admit I never set it up). But where Google does all the work and for free, you need indeed a dedicated server, which means money even if it is possible on affordable server, and not just one person to do it. I have the experience of 5 years with the French community. It's easy for me because it doesn't cost me a lot (3.59€ per month) and there is not a big stake to do it alone. If I were to disappear, it wouldn't be the end of the world. And since there are few exchanges, I don't need a paid email solution, which would be different here. On the other hand, it's necessarily different here, hence the fact of mutualizing the risks, which many free software communities manage to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
