I might write a longer blog post if I find time (which, tbh, isn't likely), but... given that I'm seeing a bunch of people who run mailinglists in 2026 having problems, and I think I understand the underlying technicalities quite well, a few notes on running a Mailinglist in 2026:

@… I'm using groups.io for the first time. (I know! Sorry, I usually avoid mailing lists.) It's very good, thank you for running this valuable service.
I found the locked topics feature very interesting. It never occurred to me to have that in a mailing list, since the underlying tech doesn't allow it. Does it work well in practice? Do people use it? The group I'm on uses it extensively.
