[bisq-network/proposals] Create a bisq-announce mailing list to replace now-defunct MailChimp newsletter (#20)

[HarryMacfinned]

Hello,
The Bisq client software makes great technical efforts to try to protect anonymity of its users. P2P, Decentralization of data, Tor, DHT, etc.
I understand the willing for some marketing ... but a mailing list (as some other communication tool) seems me quite dangerous for the users. Once somebody gets the mailist adresses, it's not too difficult to get the real identities behind. There are **already** existing specialized firms who do such jobs on the behalf of gov agencies, eg converting BTC adresses in real identities.
a 3000 subscriber list is a nice shortlist to use as a supplementary filtering criteria for identification.

What is the use of an anonymous tool (strongly claimed as such), 
when it is in fact plugged in an environment/ecosystem of non-anonymous tools ?

imho, I would search other marketing tools as those ones.
There are some privacy respect tools poping up here and there, it may be better looking on those new tools than tools absolutely not designed to respect or help anonymity.

(I think this remark also applies for other tools actually used : youtube, twitter, etc.
I have noticed for example that for the last youtube events, there are people looking, but few subscribers ... and this seems me completely understandable).
