There's a community that I'd like to be more involved with that uses
Discourse, but I (personally) find Discourse to be simply too much
overhead, so I'm not active in that community.
If I *had* to use Discourse (for a paycheck job), I would / could. But
not by choice.
Disclaimer - I'm an old fart and I've been doing email for many
decades, and it's my favorite / primary form of electronic
communication. Mailing lists are natural and easy for me to
participate in virtual communities.
If you're going to use email lists, Groups.io is the way to go. It's
not open source, and you can't self-host it. It's a paid service...
but it's a very good, very stable / reliable, very capable service.
If I had to start a mailing list now (and I am considering doing so as
a companion for my newsletter), I'd pony up the fee to use the paid
version.
Thanks for considering Groups.io - I think it would work well for ARDC.
