and correct, i am one of these who "happily ignore facebook, twitter...". in my (private) opinion there is no use, except wasting time. but you are of course free to have another opinion, and use all of them if you like.
Yes, as an alternative to push systems like ML these are time-suckers.
Honestly, it's pretty annoying how y'all are dragging your feet here. We could very easily set up something like a Matrix channel and have a bot post the RSS feed from the mailing lists there. This would let people choose which platform they want to follow.
It doesn't have to end up with your precious mailing list going away. Compromise is a thing.
openSUSE is the kind of place where nothing ever happens unless someone does it, I suspect nothing has ever happened here because most developers are using a bunch of mailing lists for a bunch of things and have an email client that handles them in the way that they want. If you think an RSS to matrix bot is worth having your more then welcome to setup a proof of concept channel and see how many people use it. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
