<div dir="ltr">First off I really have no idea how mailing lists work, so I apologise if this isn't the best way to reply to this, but since I wasn't subscribed to the list when the original conversation happened I'm not sure how else to do it. <div><br></div><div>I've posted a bit of a writeup on why I will miss ubuntu discourse if it goes away (and why I think it is a better discussion platform than reddit) on the discourse thread about its future here: <a href="http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/future-of-this-ubuntu-discourse-instance-shutdown/2338/4">http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/future-of-this-ubuntu-discourse-instance-shutdown/2338/4</a> </div><div><br></div><div>a brief summary: </div><div>I don't like reddit because of its harassment/safety issues and poor UI/thread management.

Probably even if discourse is fixed up.
