I have been pondering if we could perhaps setup a public-inbox read-only mirror of the posts to discussion. ( https://public-inbox.org/README.html ). It would take a bit of work, as I think we would need to make a non priv user, subscribe to everything, then mangle the emails as they come to not have the reply-to or anything else thats specific to the user. However, that could be a solution to longer term archiving of things, another way for casual people to read things and also allow a nntp frontend for the crazy nntp folks. ;) public-inbox is plain text only, so no images/html there. If there's enough interest in this I would be happy to work with folks who want to set this up.
Rather than email subscription, this could be via a webhook. That payload includes both the html and "uncooked" message, a bunch of metadata. And it can trigger on post, edit, metadata change, and other things. That's probably a better interface than email mangling.
yeah, that would be great if it can use a webhook.
