And if it where is discourse I would’t participate in it.

Basically, as others said, not interested in shiny tech that has no
notion of interop, has a single implementation, and a shelf life of a
couple years.

There's a reason every single web site out there quietly drops the shiny
things bit to fall back on email and sms as soon as it manipulates
anything $$$ related. email and sms are an ugly but reliable and
standard way to reach anyone. The native web forums are just ephemeral
eye-cather mutually incompatible things designed make you read ads (as
Mairin explained better than me).

Now, it it were packaged in Fedora, and deployed on Fedora infra,
without any magic call to a third party website, that would be something
else. Wouldn't change the probability upstream would give up on it as
soon as it was not shiny and cool anymore, but at least I and Fedora
would not totally depend on them for our data.
 
You really should try it, you might like it.  BTW, there are no ads in the Fedora Discourse instance, so
not sure what you are talking about there.  As far as email is concerned the trends are clear... just do a
web search.
