Discourse, Discord or Slack are what everyone seem to be clustering around these days. The main thing I like about mailing lists and even to some extent IRC is it's a bit more decentralized and is easily locally archived. They're also built around a standard or protocol instead of an individual product so it's fairly easy to migrate data from one machine/client/place/whatever to another. What happens to all the Discourse posts when the next HotNewThing(TM) comes along? Will all the questions, answers and interactions vanish? I'm a bit of an odd ball for a young person in that I still host my own mail. While I'm not terribly active on here I'd be even less so on Discourse most likely.
