In contrast, I've largely given up on staying on top of mailing lists for years now, so it’s not just an age thing (or maybe it is 🤔). Even with filters in place, the amount landing in say devel@ is just too overwhelming for me – a mailing list is a very coarse thing and I don’t find subject lines helpful to scan visually to trim down the deluge to manageable levels. > That said, for everyone except us, mail lists are much worse for all > the > reasons you list. > > I'm willing to try to learn new tricks and move things to discourse. I don’t know if using a forum software like Discourse could help, but I guess there’s something to be said about finer-grained “tags” or “topics” – if they are used properly and I don’t see us employing librarians to ensure that 😉. If a “change in venue” would let me stay on top things better, I would be very happy.
