I never understood how Discord can be seen as a replacement for mailing lists. To me it is the absolute chaos from a usability viewpoint and possibly a good place to chat about things which are not to be seen as persistent. To me the main alternative would be a Discourse-based platform, which can be seen as an evolution to the traditional PHP-based bulletin boards. I really hope that Google Groups doesn't shut down, but at this point I'm close to believing that Google care to disappoint. Then again, aren't a lot of Android development discussions taking place on Google Groups?
