This email is so depressing. It saddens me to think there may not be a
mailing list anymore.
I don't do social media. I won't start now. I refuse to be the product
on a private platform.
Its not social media. Its discourse that is open source.
Python and fedora already have discourse servers up and working.
Personally I find them easy to use and better then email mainly because i can use markup
to format code and other text.
