I have no argument against listservs, and run a bunch of longtime ones myself. They definitely still serve a purpose, even in 2022! On 28 Oct 2022, at 15:00, Venessa Paech via Air-L wrote:
Another endorsement for listservs and the like. Been using them since the late 80s to build and manage communities and their demise is greatly exaggerated. As those on this list appreciate it better than most, it's all about context (Purpose, People, then Platform). Forums remain tried and true for building sustainable communities (vs social networking platforms).
I'd prefer to participate in any kind of setting where we can maintain cooperative governance and ownership if possible (and avoid the whims of tech overlords).
Looking forward to catching up with many of you in person at AOIR shortly!
