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.
That's your perception. Mine would rather be "staying on the solid ground and don't want to be drawn into the mud". And that's the problem. Just because you love "modern platforms", it doesn't mean everyone has to. There are people who happily ignore Facebook, Twitter, Viber, WhatsApp or whatever platform is considered cool right now (and going to be "out" in 2-3 years). I joined my first mailing lists in 1993. The technology is still here, still in use and still works nicely. Would you bet on Discourse or whatever "modern platform" you would like us to move to) still being here and popular in 25 years? There still are people who appreciate these values more than being the fashionable platform of the year. I'm not saying you shouldn't move or even that openSUSE community shouldn't (provided you convince enough people to). I'm just warning that if you do, you'll lose some people. I would be one - and from the reactions it seems I wouldn't be the only one.
