I would love if we added this to simplify discussions with the new editors. VE has its issues, we can set things so that people edit the old way by default.

The DiscussionTools extension’s topic subscription feature is the only reason it touches the database as far as I know. This feature would be particularly useful to the AARoads community, which distributes discussions among wiki talk pages, the Discord server, and the forum. It’s a lot to keep up with, especially as a newbie.
