I've been a regular user of a Discourse forum for a few years, since the Rust language community deprecated their mailing list in favor of a Discourse instance. Discourse has the interesting property that it actively seeks to allow users to use it *as* a mailing list: receiving one email per post,

Woo! Yes, I agree entirely. I’ve brought up these arguments before as well lol. Although, Discus/Discourse are pretty obscure. Discord is pretty good and the current mainstream for gaming, and a growingly popular media for nomics (Infinite Nomic and Now we Nomic are there)! It doesn’t favor essay
