Good luck convincing zoomers to join mailing lists...
First of all, try to convonce them to use a free/libre video conferencing system. Z*, T*, GoToM* et al are highly overrated.
they are just not wired that way anymore, we are solving exactly this issue at the moment in different OSS project, and all we managed to come up with (majority of community are < millennials (I am millennial) and they want Telegram, Discord,... the most we managed to convince them is to subscribe to few announce-* mailing-lists...
Without the intention to start a flame war, those under (lets say) 30 have a different way of working. If you feel that one of the IM is your tool, go for it. If you are able to handle a mail client (and webmailers are no proper mail clients) you enjoy a very efficient, structured way of handling information (including mailing lists). That helps time boxing as well.
TL;DR OGs are getting OGed... :) And we need fresh blood...
