[tech] omnichannel discussions

[Alex // nytpu]

I'm not going to say that you can't, or even that you shouldn't, it's
pretty reasonable to quote a relevant irc convo that had good discussion
if you're moving the discussion to the mailing list. I think the main
reason it gets on people's nerves though is that it's generally
considered very rude to publish irc logs, *even if the server is logged
publicly*.

Also, IRC is generally geared toward casual chat, people just shoot the
shit on there and don't expect half the discussions to go anywhere,
whereas on the mailing list it is generally expected that most
discussions are worthwhile in some way. Except for a few times that
#gemini is on-topic (and I promise you, that's rarer than you'd expect),
there's not a whole lot that would be worthwhile to actually discuss
wider on the mailing list.
