I'm creating an email listserv for my nonprofit company to discuss FOSS / FOSH that my company will create. It's meant to be a list to enable the community to discuss and share insights on issues. I've found gaggle.email to provide workable options for using my own custom domain name and a REST API.

Sad news: the WebAIM mailing list is shutting down on August 27.

The archives will remain available.

Since 1999, the WebAIM @webaim email list has distributed discussions on web accessibility and provided a virtual community for a diverse range of members. I've been subscribed since 2002, and I learned more about accessibility from the list and its members than from any other single source on the web.

End of an era.

I am subscribed to a moribund scientific listserv.

A week ago one of the admins wrote to the list noting that the last post was in 2021, and asked us if it was time to shut down the list. Nobody replied.

Today another admin wrote that it was probably time to archive the whole thing.

Immediately somebody replied to the whole list with an empty email, and the subject line: "UNSUBSCRIVE"

Even in death, listserv gonna listserv.

If I wanted to set up a most basic listserv for my immediate neighborhood, as a low-barrier alternative to Facebook/Nextdoor/etc., what would be the best place to do that?

Right now it looks like Groups.io or setting up my own Mailman server?
