As a newcomer I am genuinely interested to understand this. Readings this it looks like there is a split in Debian community. And Instead of fixing problems with people who moderate forums Debian just decides to throw in another tool into the mix? And part ways with Debian Forum community? Sorry, makes little sense to me. And separately, I got interested in Debian because it was using mailing lists in the first place. Mail is decentralized by design and this is why it is so important for freedom of speech. Now you suggest a centralized platform for communication, because it is easier to moderate (oppress freedom of speech). To me it sounds like: "Yes you can talk, but only if you do it on my terms, on my territory". Moderation is a slippery slope, using centralized communication platform is one step closer to dictatorship. -- Ihor Antonov https://useplaintext.email
