1. Re: email list migrating (Robin Goodfellow (Puck) Malamud)

Most of the library, craft, and zine-related communities I've seen have been in Discord, although some of them have considered migrating considering the age verification policies that Discord has recently taken on. Personally, anything where we could more easily have live conversations AND access past posts would make this much more accessible and usable.
