 1.Slack is the wild Wild West.  Get more than a few folks in a channel
 and the conversation gets crazy.  It’s a conversation not a thread. Imagine
 some of the threads that have gone off the rails in realtime.
 2.Message boards are good but the are not pushed to you like e-mail
 3.Facebook is pushed to you, but not everyone has facebook or pays
 attention to it.

 As much as people keep wanting e-mail to die, which I don’t understand,
 it’s not going away anytime soon.

No from me... I like the general all topics nature of this list. Don't 
need some on/off topic category mess, that would kill the fun.

Re: [AFMUG] List alternative?

[Justin Wilson]

Here is the problem that comes around every so often.


1.Slack is the wild Wild West.  Get more than a few folks in a channel and the 
conversation gets crazy.  It’s a conversation not a thread. Imagine some of the 
threads that have gone off the rails in realtime. 
2.Message boards are good but the are not pushed to you like e-mail
3.Facebook is pushed to you, but not everyone has facebook or pays attention to 
it.

As much as people keep wanting e-mail to die, which I don’t understand, it’s 
not going away anytime soon.

There are a few Slack channels out there already as well as Facebook groups.

Anyone thought about using something like slack as an alternative to the email 
list. Maybe there is a good reason for the email format but it seems like it 
would allow for categories for topics so members could choose if they want to 
be in on the topic or not. Such as fiber topics. Cambium topics. Mimosa ubnt
