So the big difference between filtering email lists into folders that you poll vs reading
them in your inbox "timeline" / firehose, is that you have 100% control over
that and can change it to your prefs over time. That's very different than this
proposal where the control is external to each individual and not changeable over time as
needs change.
I am subscribed to a substantial number of email lists:
- The ones I follow most closely, 4-5 of them, go straight to inbox.
- The ones I dont follow closely, for lists that are on HK, I honestly just use HK no mail
delivery. It's occasional.
- The non HK lists I dont follow closely get foldered or delivered to a lower priority
email acct.
- I also get pagure emails for multiple projects and struggle to manage that (as prev
mentioned Id like some delivered to one email and some another and I have no control over
that.)
As I roll off projects / change priorities, I can redirect messages to inbox / turn on
email delivery or redirect them to a folder.
The problem with migrating some MLs to discourse and some not, is any given participant on
the spectrum of highly involved <=> following from afar has to engage w the list on
a poll basis and they have no option to follow exclusively via email. This breaks personal
workflows with other Fedora lists that are ML based, and could break their entire personal
workflow depending on how much they use their email inbox as a "timeline".
How do we make a hubs lite happen? We so desperately need it.
