Re: [LincolnTalk] Slack instead of Mailman? Or staying the course.

Let us not let the perfect get in the way of the good enough. LT has served us for the past years and appears to be good enough for us to swap goods, info, services, and political ideas. Let’s stay the course…it seems good enough to get us where we need to go. Sara -- Sara Mattes > On

Re: [LincolnTalk] Slack instead of Mailman?

I would personally prefer using a more “modern” platform such as Google groups, Slack, Facebook groups, etc.. However, one must also recognize that the strength of LincolnTalk - and the reason why it has been so successful in our little town - is its simplicity. Yes, it is frustrating,

Re: [LincolnTalk] Slack instead of Mailman?

Hi, Andrew. I agree. I get lots of email from various sources, and it’s convenient to have LT in there with the rest. If I had to log in somewhere else, I just might not do it. But I also agree with the person who complained about the long email threads and the difficulty of figuring out who

[LincolnTalk] Drop a tree?

I have two trees in the woods that need to be dropped. No need for the usual five man crew to cut it up and feed it into a shredder, then rake and clean up. The wood can be left where dropped. But it will require someone to climb in order to drop the tree without damaging nearby trees. A truck

Re: [LincolnTalk] Slack instead of Mailman?

If using Google Groups or Groups.io requires having a Google account and logging in to that, no thanks. As with Slack, that is an extra step, and an extra place to go to read the LT messages. The beauty of the email-based list is that it's right in with other daily communication. It is so

Re: [LincolnTalk] Slack instead of Mailman?

I am just grateful to our VOLUNTEER listserve moderators for using whatever system is most convenient to them! (Spoke by someone who uses Slack at work and really does not like it because it doesn’t interface with email, so you have to open the Slack program separately to find any messages -

Re: [LincolnTalk] Slack instead of Mailman?

I love Slack. My wife and I have a private Slack server for running our household. But everyone knows how to use email -- I think a lot of folks who aren't used to Slack might struggle to use it, and community engagement would decrease. That said, I definitely agree that the current Mailman

Re: [LincolnTalk] Slack instead of Mailman?

We are a very small town (around 5000 without Hanscom) and I am appreciative of having this community service on line. What firs s really small town might not fit a larger suburb/town. And I appreciate so much the volunteers who moderate it. And I think discussions of issues good, especially

Elizabeth - The moderators of this listserve -- who are much appreciated by the community! - have said that it should be viewed a bit like a community bulletin board. People can discuss, offer for sale, comment, whatever they want -- the only limitations being that we cannot be rude or defame

Re: [LincolnTalk] Community Center Building Committee- Why Build A New Community Center?

Before dreaming about a ride service you should study ADA regulations, and the Rehabilitation Act and any comparable state laws. Some of these are enforced by private lawsuits and winning plaintiffs get attorney's fees. You can't just stuff old people in any old car as a town service. You

[LincolnTalk] Slack instead of Mailman?

Could consideration be made for replacing the LincolnTalk listserv's antiquated format with Slack, or some other "modern" group communication platform? I find that the repetition of content makes these messages unwieldy and quite challenging to read through to find the non-repeated content. Thanks

Welcome to town, Elizabeth! LT has thrived as a mix. Some hate the political chatter, others love it. Some want only “yard sale” type chatter . Some love the mix. There is no consensus and the moderators due an amazing job of keeping it all civil. Be sure and sign up for all Zoom discussions

Welcome, Elizabeth! As you may know, the moderators recommend starting your subject line with “FS” if you have an item for sale. I’m not positive, but I suspect that you could set an email filter to send such formatted messages to trash if you wanted. Though it is true that we are not all
