I absolutely love not having to slog through hundreds of emails before my first shots of caffeine, and I can now pull from Discourse or GH when it’s convenient for me. It’s also much easier to disengage for a few days and catch up later.
I absolutely cannot imagine slogging through hundreds of posts in the Discourse interface. Couldn't this be, as Baptiste suggests, a symptom of people disengaging and there just being less traffic? Or is it somehow being channeled better so that you're only seeing what interests you now? In particular I have to suspect that a boatload of those were python-committers mails that are now basically obsolete (can't say, I never have sought enough responsibility that I needed to subscribe to that firehose). But that would help with python-dev/ideas too. Steve
