> They basically undo all the progress on collaboration since the 90s to get rid of the modern problems that these changes cause, without realizing that the way forward is to solve these problems, not just revert to a time when they didn't exist. Saying they are "reverting to a time when they didn't exist" is missing the point. It's about improving the problems that caused people to switch away from the collaboration tools in the 90s; e.g. [1]. So it's more of a fork of the 90s than a rollback. Also, it's not like the people at SH (and their users) haven't tried new collaboration tools. I (at least) have tried them and found them wanting in important ways. The conclusion that it's better to fix the older tools than the newer tools could be debated with[2], but nobody's sticking their heads in the sand here. 1: https://sourcehut.org/blog/2022-07-06-sourcehut-and-irc/ https://sourcehut.org/blog/2022-07-06-sourcehut-and-irc/ Note also that even without SH, e-mail, IRC, &c. are all greatly improved in both small and large ways in the time between the 90s and now. 2: I mean everybody involved with SH already prefers the older tools for one reason or another, so fixing the older tools is going to be the obvious path forward for them.
