Please have bike shedding festivities about communication mechanisms in the Telegram group of your choice.

And please feel free to start a Telegram group for Subsurface. But please don't expect any of the main developers to ever show up there.

This development mailing list is and will be on email. If you would rather not be on email, that is certainly your choice.

Thanks

So that already limits who can use it concurrently. Which means that fingers can be pointed at people more easily. Which tends to make certain people slightly nervous ;)
