This just a mailing list, right? What am I missing?

I think it has a nice UI, and presumably it's also a hosted solution.

But fundamentally it seems to have many of the same features that Mailman et al have had for decades.

Good on them if they can make mailinglist archives great again, though. I think they're an underappreciated resource, and maybe a slick interface and some rebranding is just what they need.

The naming and the copy about team communication made me think it’s more than it is. Not suggesting it has low utility, although I wish it did more than add search to a hosted mailing list... google groups has search (in an old interface). Seems like there’s a lot of opportunity to fix emails weaknesses here if the product is truly focused on topics and teams.
Their FAQ even mentions migrating from listserv as an option by talking with their team.
Seems like mailing list with a nicer UI that allows for searching etc.....
