How do you find Discourse so far?

To flip this around, I think that Brett is simply saying that the benefits of threaded views in e-mail only apply to a subset of e-mail users.

Whether you are part of that subset is entirely up to you. So I frankly don’t understand your argument.

(note: Thunderbird isn’t the only client that allows threaded display, it’s just the one I’m using as an example)

In general, the next generation of Python core contributors is increasingly less likely to be e-mail first

I don’t know what “e-mail first” means. What I know is that e-mail as a communication tool isn’t going away, and people will still be required to master e-mail in 10 or 20 years.

@ambv

off-topic discussions about e-mail clients on the Timeline to vote for a governance PEP python-committers megathread are a great example

I remain to be convinced that it’s gonna work on, e.g., a PEP discussion, where usually the problem is not someone veering off-topic to talk about e-mail clients.

I still stand by my example: as a moderator, can you try to cut Python Governance Electoral System in several independent Discourse topics? If you think this is too tedious or too much work, then you’re making my point.
