Well, so much for the notion that web forums are better at stopping

I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now.

Reported it.

While we're on the topic: all the GNOME mailing lists are moving to
Discourse (similar to HyperKitty but much *much* worse). The ostensible
reasons for this included "better control of spam" and "Mailman depends
on Python 2", the latter being clearly nonsense as the Fedora lists run
on Mailman3 - which is why we have this HyperKitty crock in the first
place. (Note that GNOME hosting is provided by Red Hat, so go figure.)

The Evolution list has already been replaced, and as many of us have
decided that this is not a usable substitute we set up an alternative
list at:

https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-users

If there is any danger of this nonsense happening to the Fedora lists,
I hope we get sufficient notice (GNOME originally gave us only 10 days
warning, though they later extended it) to allow for alternatives to be
discussed.

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.
