- WalterBright 1y agoBTW, like HackerNews, the D forums don't allow emojis, icons, javascript, multiple fonts, and all that nonsense. Just text. What a relief!

- ChrisSD 1y ago^_^ sucks when you actually need to talk about emoji though :/
- bartvk 1y ago¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- WalterBright 1y agoWe discourage posts that aren't relevant in some way to D programming. One of the reasons I enjoy HackerNews is dang's enlightened and sensible moderation policy.
- int_19h 1y agoI think OP meant cases like, "I need to process a string with this emoji in D" etc
- LPisGood 1y agoWould you ever need to talk about a specific emoji?

- layer8 1y agoStating the Unicode code points as U+1F4A9 or (D syntax) \U0001F4A9 is a reasonable workaround.
- uecker 1y agoSo it just like email list which have an archive - except you can't use email clients but instead can use web-based interface?
- WalterBright 1y agoYou can use the web interface if you post: https://forum.dlang.org/ https://forum.dlang.org/ The static pages are there for browsing. They load fast, and I like the entire thread being on one page. No clickety-clicking and forgetting where you are in a forest of postings.
- em-bee 1y agoa forum is just a webinterface for a mailinglist. they are both messages in threads. what's different is the presentation. some of the forums i use support both seamlessly, and i can choose which interface i prefer. of course for the issue we are discussing, presentation is what matters. but, for most forums i do not believe they would have made it any easier to not miss a message. just look at hackernews. it is actually quite difficult to track which messages i have not read yet, (even if there is a marker on what's new) and it is therefore very easy to miss some. that is not the case with email. because my mail client tracks the rad/unread status for each message. the problem with RMS has nothing to do with the form of a mailing list but with his particular async style of accessing the internet.
