From the foreman post, in the comments:
Email interface does not really work, there should be rather called
“notifications”. You must visit the site eventually.
I personally find this a fatal flaw, I do not have time to waste
visiting slow websites for each project I follow. If I have to switch
away from my mail client I just end up unfollowing the project unless I
am focusing specifically on it at that time.

Better for whom and for what purpose ?
I am sure it won't be better for me, all "web forums" I ever used made
for my disappearence from the platform as it was too expensive (time-
wise) for me to keep up.
Simo.
