I mostly lurk and I strongly prefer a mailing list solution. I'm in the Bitcoin community and we keep on talking about fully decentralized backends to mailing lists/usenet replacements, but until something like that is implemented, best to stick with the tried and true mailing list. When something like that is implemented, it's gonna look rather like a mailing list... Mailing lists are great infrastructure: a pragmatic centralized core to push messages around/moderate, and a whole host of decentralized infrastructure around them like multiple archiving services and a wide variety of client software to interface with. I also note that it's a pain in the butt to PGP sign message board posts, this is Cryptography after all... -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 00000000000000026c4c027b8c680e2ff000b6b70bb10f70771b9a05868c613e
