Do you still find IRC more usable? Um, no. But I find Zulip's way of grouping discussions by day then by topic makes things a bit confusing and not very easy to follow. It seems designed for people who log in every day.

Ah, you must be reading Zulip through "All Messages". I personally read each topic individually by pressing "n" to navigate through each topic with an unread message, otherwise I too lose too much context.

Fair enough. Would you want a PEPs section and then some naming convention per thread to denote which PEP a thread is about? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
