I’m talking about GNU here.
I just can’t seem to figure out on how to use either of them to communicate. IRCs don’t save older messages, but instead logs them. And I guess for the same reason, it is impossible to discuss anything in depth.
Mailing list is really hard to read, as it is nowhere similar to forum or tree-style comments. I can’t figure out what mailing list to message to.
Ask if they are open to move to something else /s
I have to be honest, and no offense to GNU folks, but I am really not enjoying this barrier to entry. This cognitive overload is something I’m not comfortable with.
Understandable. Unfortunately the people in power of those services have to change. There’s no other way.
