Comment on What do y'all think about mailing lists and IRC as sole communication channels?
dsemy@lemm.ee 1 year agoMost web-based mailing list UIs are honestly incredibly bad, but you don’t need to use them, you can choose any email client you want.

The problem with mailing lists is that no mailing list provider ever supports “subscribe to this message tree”.
As a result, either you get constant spam, or you don’t get half the replies.

I sort messages from mailing lists into different mail folders, and my client (Gnus) supports a threaded view of messages (and I can press ‘k’ on a message to mark the entire thread as read), so this isn’t a big issue for me.
