If you're thinking of setting up a read-only Discord server for publishing updates about your project, consider: making an RSS feed instead.

Ditto for email newsletters. Does it need to be an email or could it be an RSS feed?

@ephemeromorph
Emails have the advantage of still existing after the website goes offline, though...

@ephemeromorph the problem is that over 5% of my technical audience knows how to use rss, im still looking for a tech only 1% can operate to properly exclude as many readers as possible

@ddlyh @ephemeromorph does your rss reader not download the posts?

@ddlyh @ephemeromorph depending on the context, it might make sense to offer both the email newsletter and RSS feed as individual options and let folks decide which to use (and maybe even additional syndication methods like Fediverse posts or something)
