For me what is amusing is that people thinks that their reality defines the reality of everyone else. In several countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa (yes they're still a different part of the world in the XXI century, despite of the efforts of "colonizers" to deny their individuality since eons) there is not online all time and answering an email from 3 days ago is not like being disconnected from centuries, because three days still felt like 3 days and not like centuries in those places. Anything that allows offline participation is really appreciated over the so called "Global South". I have been using Discourse Forum, with mail suscription and mailing lists and I can see the advantages of the first for a more peripheral participation and mailing list in communities where I want to be more involved. Just my 2 pesos, from another perspective in another place of the world.
