We are debating this as an alternative to a mailing list. Don’t get ahead of yourself. As an alternative, I think it works. However, you can disagree. Please don’t male assumptions regarding ‘cool kids; or whatever you want to presume. That really isn’t the case. However, if you can’t see how mailing lists are more insecure than Slack - then what does that say about your career?
How about you create what you want regarding x, y and z as opposed to slating something that DOES perform the function of what this mailing list is in a better way? Seeing as you are making assumptions let me I shall assume that you are a dinosaur that would rather use email over something else. Now, please - you should know the pitfalls of email. I did not say Slack was x, y or z. I just see it as a better alternative. FWIW: Slack does scale. + if it’s working for corporations, what makes this mailing list so unique or different that it can’t help it along the way? Making assumptions never ends well - as you have just evidenced. > On 12 Jul 2015, at 21:41, Brandon Allbery <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sun, Jul 12, 2015 at 4:37 PM, Allan Irving <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > You can stay in the dark ages but some of us are thinking ahead.
