> People who were in early days of Internet remember who bad email mailing lists were for organising anything.

Most of us miss the simplicity of mailing lists.

I lived in a new (at the time) neighbourhood back in 2008, and we had a neighbourhood mailing list which was very convenient. Nobody had issues with using it, because there’s very little to learn if you know how ti read and reply emails. Sure, we had to explain “reply to one” vs “reply to all” to a few people, but that’s entirely it.

Mailing lists fell out of fashion because of marketing and trends, not because of any inherent limitations.
