[mdlug] Setup a Matrix server, Robert.

[Richard Levitsky]

Setup a Matrix server then, Robert. The group is in need of one. I would support it over email.

Tried and true? So are Morse code and ice boxes and horse-drawn carriages. Try Discord or Matrix, and you won't ask such questions, Steve. There are a multitude of advantages in using one of those over a 20th century technology like email.

Discord is freedom denying closed souce corporate proprietary non-free software.

Most of the things people like to use Discord for coild be achieved as well if not better utilizing a free and open protocol like Matrix or XMPP/Jabber without having to give up essential freedoms.

As far as you being unable to find a message from this list it coulf just as easily your poor memory, or your particular email client that is causing search to fail :-D

In liberation,
Jim

While we're at it, why not use email? It's tried and true and easy for
all.
