I havent seen anyone talk about it for the last 10-15 yrs. I would have guessed it fell apart already

They abandoned all support for email lists a couple of months back. Will likely move after 20+ years on DH.

Chat support works well. Email is nonexistent.

I don't mean "support for using mailing lists". I meant "they no longer provide the services (i.e. mailman) to run mailing lists"

Nobody wants to run a service like that anymore.

		i wouldn't be so sure. I know I move in privacy and "anti big tech" circles, but I (and a lot of people I know) am moving a lot of my personal/recreational internet time to rss feeds of personal websites, mailing lists, and Mastodon. And there's a fair bit of discussion and small but growing use of private and very small group federated Mastodon hosts. Having said that, very little of that is being done by the sort of people who'd host it on a service like Dreamhost.
