#mailinglists
I have a question. Do you often subscribe to mailing lists?

Just watching Cris Z at FreakingGoodIndies podcast, and he's pushing the idea that mailing lists are the best communication channel

Regarding blocking: In my experience, it's about 10% of users that cause 90% of the problems in online. I found it true on USEnet. I found it true on the mailinglists I ran in the 90s.\

Block today. Block tomorrow. Block forever.

alt.cyberpunk, alt.conspiracy, rec.arts.comics, alt.music.alternative. The DroneOn, Raindogs and Cowabunga mailinglists (which I all started based off of the Hypnodrone-l archives that I came across.) That all by 1995.
I like the idea of being "from" places on the internet. Like checking someone's internet birth certificate and it says Fark or eBaum's World

Afmelden voor de mailinglists van ZooPlus, Medpets, Breks en al dat soort zaken is ook best meh.

I had an active webpage in... 1994? Probably not '93. By 1995, I'd started three music-based mailinglists.

Stolz bin ich auf Asocial Media nie auf Followerzahlen gewesen.
Stolz bin ich ein bisschen darauf, dass ich es seit den Zeiten von Bulletin Boards und Mailinglists immer geschafft hab, dass meine Accounts Menschen und/oder Informationen zusammenbringen konnten.

What I really miss on #bsky is the Internet networking community. It is a massive community that keeps networks, routers and datacenters running using IRC, mailinglists, fora and Twitter, but no Bsky unfortunately

Hashtags such #bgp #IXP, #Nanog, #NLNOG, #routing, #RIPE #APNIC #IETF #ARIN etc.

I'll also note that for the most part, I didn't see talk like this, like making today's favorite into an immortal forever thing, until the 90s on various music mailinglists and USEnet groups. Then it started to slip those enclosures.

Which I guess is to be expected.
If I had a nickel for every hot new something that was promised to be played by cool folks a generation from then but proved to be a nothing, I'd have several nickels.

USEnet. Kept me sane when I wasn't writing my first novel at a job I hated. Learned a lot there.

Shoutout to the mailinglists I started (the best of them based on Hypnodrone which closed some six months before I started.)

Early Twitter was still great.

Rancidity abounds now. (It's the money.)
Can I ask y’all a genuine question?

In all your life online, what’s the greatest social media you’ve ever used?

Just misread an oddly closed form of "mailinglists" as "malignlists" and, to be honest, I do have a few malign lists.

I agree. And he is extremely responsive in issues and mailinglists. I couldn’t keep up with that pace even if I wouldn’t do anything else.

Dat heb ik dus meteen maar gedaan. En gevraagd of ze mij ook meteen uit wilden schrijven als er op één van mijn oude adressen een bezorgd wordt. Dat bleek inderdaad zo te zijn.

Ik heb een Goede Daad verricht! Ik Deug! Voelt goed, man. Moeten jullie ook eens proberen! Mailinglists tellen ook.

After seeing a couple of questions on different pages about mailing lists, here are some thoughts on the subject

Plus addressing lets you set a custom receive address for your email e.g. mailinglists+myname@domain.com or subscriptions+myname, etc. Great for setting up quick filters (drop all bills+myname into Bills folder, say), and for keeping track of which fuckers are selling your email address.

das sense of entitlement war vor allem schon immer so, selbst in den 80ern zu Freiherr-von-Gravenreuth-C64-Raubkopie-Mailinglists (physische Post!) Zeiten. Ich mein, natürlich auch n paar sehr sehr korrekte leute aber extrem viel gierige kleine troglodyten mit den social skills einer scheißhausratte

Ik ben oud, maar ik was er vanaf het eerste uur bij. Juist op sociale media. Ik heb bijvoorbeeld usenet ten onder zien gaan aan trollen. Ben beheerder van fora en mailinglists geweest. En geleerd dat moderatie inmisbaar is. Alles zonder eindigt als usenet.

Good point. When I first went online, it was small communities and mailinglists that had moderators who enforced netiquette. Newbies were taught what was acceptable and what wasn't.
Even the move to livejournal and blogging didn't really change that.
These days? I somtimes just feel old and grumpy.

I kinda forgot how weird mailinglists are implemented. Because clients keep the person you reply to in the recipient list, the listserv opts to not send out a message to anyone directly addressed. That means that directly addressed people do not get the modified message of the ML.

As others have noted, the "8 million" figure is based on people who have explicitly registered for a No Kings march, and there are many who have attended who don't register (keeping off mailinglists, concern a list could be compromised by Dysadministration, and so on)

Small Mailinglists with strong moderation and livejournal.
