Nice thing about mailing lists, we all end up with our own archives, and it’s all in a standard format that is readily migrated as needed.

Even if it’s hosted on a commercial system, it’s easy to pick up and move if its all in an mbox file or something.

When you get into web-first systems, migration becomes a matter of what the vendor might or might not support for import and export.

I’m in favor of commercial products that “embrace and extend” open standards. Seems like groups.io might fit that bill.

While I do use Discord a lot, I think it would be better run alongside a
more "long form" of communication. I see Discord better suited to real
time communication, while a mailing list is something for more in depth
and longer lived conversations.

There's an argument to run both in parallel, because they serve
different purposes.
