Dude, what in the actual flip is this? This is not the kind of nonsense that I subscribe to this mailing list for. Go be an elitist somewhere else please.
Back on topic, I 100% agree with the OP. Mailing lists are not friendly to new comers at all. I personally wouldn't even try to keep up with the mailing lists if it wasn't for the RSS feed.
David's post may be harsh (and, yes, a bit over the top) but there is simple truth you should think about: it's everyone's choice which forms of communication he or she wants to participate in.
You may consider mailing lists too old school and "unfriendly" and it is perfectly fine if you decide to stay away from them. But you should keep in mind there are people who feel exactly the opposite and who would stay away from Discourse or other "modern patform" should openSUSE decide to abandon mailing lists and move there. And I would even dare to estimate that while such step might gain more people that it would lose, it would probably mean losing more of those who are likely to help with a technical problem than it would attract.
BtW, it's nice that both groups like https://xkcd.com/1782/ even if they disagree about who does it make fun of. :-)

Actually, it's not fine if I stay away from the mailing lists. It's highly recommended that Tumbleweed users follow this list. It's just not a fun time compared to more modern solutions such as Fedora's mailing lists which offer the best of both worlds. Honestly, it's a bit sad to see all of these people here be so stuck in the mud and unwilling to change at all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
