mailing lists by ben | tildeverse BBJ

>0 ben @ 2019/02/25 19:25

hey hi hello everyone. not sure if this has been brought up here on bbj
but i thought it would be worthwhile to mention lists.tildeverse.org

if you've got an account on tilde.team, you should be automatically 
subscribed to the tildeteam@lists.tildeverse.org list. if you want to 
change your delivery email address or other settings, you can make an
account with your @tilde.team address and adjust as needed.

one of the goals is to have one list per member tilde, plus a general 
meta-list, and other topical lists as needed. they're all listed on 
the homepage (https://lists.tildeverse.org/).

if you would like to have another list created, please let me (ben)
know, here on this thread or by email or irc and i can create them as
needed.

So, having each member to have its own list? Is there a reason behind it? I don't think it is a bad idea--for example, members could use their member list as a public mailbox--but would like to hear about what prompted that goal.

TIA

I think what the OP refers to is that each tilde on the tildeverse has a mailing list. tilde.team has one, ctrl-p.club has one, and so forth

I think you're subscribed by default, at least I was when joining tilde.club.

Probably because no mails were sent on the list.

I have to say, I was surprised by how little use these lists have. I recently got accounts on a bunch of tildes, and all their lists are pretty much ... defunct?

It was quite a shock. Email used to be pretty much The Way to communicate. It's decentralized, it's asynchronous, it's accesible, and thanks to the tildes, we all have an "anonymous" email account. These lists could be the perfect 'forum' to get to know everyone (bbj is also pretty cool, not gonna lie :D). I was expecting unix-y systems/communities would make heavy use of email and mailing lists...

Anyway, I suppose email is now an almost dead protocol. Now that I think of it, lists for projects where I used to collaborate have also been pretty inactive for years.

Maybe spam killed the email? Thoughts? Experiences?
