{{Quickfixn}} what is the best way to keep receiving QF/n updates?

[Grant Birchmeier]

Hi all (again),

I've been wondering for a while now if this mailing list might not be the
best way to maintain this community.

Furthermore, a while ago Gmail changed something and stopped liking what
our maillist software was sending, causing all Gmail to bounce-reject the
list's mails to such addresses, which then caused our list to unsubscribe
all of them 😡.  Obviously this list is useless if it excludes one of the
world's largest email vendors.

I have explored a little.  There are a few paid mail-list services that are
a little more than I'm willing to pay (or request from my employer).
Google Groups is an option, but kind of a hassle for non-Gmail users.
Sourceforge is still around, and powers the lists of QF/C++ and QF/j (who
both originated there); I don't love it, but it may be the most...
*adequate* choice.

But... do we still want a mail list?  Is there something better I should
use?  A Subreddit?  A Bluesky account?  An old-school-style forum?   I
would love to hear any suggestions.

(Except Discord.  I'm abolutely not doing a Discord.  🙂 )

(By the way, do you know we have a LinkedIn group?
https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4745848
I'll keep posting about QF/n releases there, but I don't want to use it as
a primary hub.)

Thanks!
-Grant
