those old-school mailing lists were a bit less scary than broadcasting on social media, where you have to contend with senior scholars, random internet trolls, and fear of being canceled for saying the wrong thing.

If I were to address this, I'd create more ephemeral, highly curated online/offline groups with a solid face-to-face component. Reducing context collapse.
