Why are weekly summary emails sent out as the default setting?
Why, when users are never even asked?!
The assumption that just because a user signs up for a forum means they want to be kept updated weekly seems very unfounded to me.

I believe you are referring to the digest emails. You can choose your default frequency under Settings > User Preferences > Default Email Digest Frequency:

Note that this weekly summary email is only sent if the user never touches the website for an entire week, and it’s capped at 52 weeks total – if the user never returns to the website again.
On top of that, unsubscribing is as easy as literally one click, included at the footer of each of the digests.

I still think that the assumption is unfounded that every user who signs up to some message board is continuously interested in the activity there.
In fact I think that a lot of users sign up because they have some question and then maybe come back but many probably won’t (until they have another question). Certainly not weekly.
I think the default setting should be off; no weekly emails.
It’s odd to me that an open source tool used by many open source projects behaves like some startup trying to improve its “metrics”.

Every discussion community needs regulars to survive, so one mail per week reminding fully absent users of the most interesting discussions – capped at 52 weeks – doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. If it is unreasonable to you, perhaps you should found your own open source discussion project and build it to your liking?
Feel free to change that setting on your instance.

此外，取消订阅就像字面上一键操作一样容易，包含在每个摘要的页脚。

嗯，跳过广告的"一键"操作确实很简单，但我们今天仍然使用广告拦截器，因为它们变成了一种持续的烦恼。人们不喜欢持续的小烦恼。当然，一个论坛取消订阅可能需要几次点击（而不是一次），但大多数人不会遇到运行Discourse的"一个论坛"。我注册过足够多的此类网站，能识别出网站的格式，除非真的需要，否则一般不会注册，因为我知道大多数管理员不在乎（或明确不想）更改默认的电子邮件设置。

每个讨论社区需要常驻用户才能生存

如果他们真的如此需要，肯定会注意到活跃度低并开启设置吧？毕竟这只是一个设置。

如果这对你来说不合理，也许你应该创建你自己的开源讨论项目，并按照你的喜好建设它？

如果你不喜欢Windows的工作方式，你会真的告诉别人去制作自己的操作系统吗？不，他们在使用别人的电脑或编写面向普通用户的软件时，几乎总会遇到Windows。任何Linux用户都会告诉你这一点。抱歉，你最后的这句话充满了受伤的感情和试图关闭对话的意味。一个用户指出一个常见的不便，你却不断为它辩护，就像大多数人只会加入几个运行在Discourse上的论坛一样。
我知道这是个老帖子，但我希望证明我的观点：收到你一段时间没有碰触而忘记的无意义通知，是令人烦恼的。我刚刚从我上周注册的第11个Discourse论坛收到了这样的电子邮件（手动搜索包含"自你上次访问以来"的邮件，检查重复/虚假信息）。你可以写一个更具体的邮箱过滤规则自动删除这些邮件，但为什么要让用户收到毫无意义的电子邮件？有人注意到了这些事情。
你甚至可以在注册过程中提示用户选择他们的邮件偏好。所有人都赢？
补充：我意识到这样的提示仍然是"一键"，就像你说的那样，但这更显示出收到没有同意的邮件有多烦人，一周后还在接收。取消延迟直接让用户设置更改成明示询问，不会如此令人烦恼。"}

今天将 Krita 艺术家添加到列表中。可能还有这个论坛，虽然我不知道，因为我在发布后手动关闭了它。到目前为止有 12 或 13 个。

我不希望你觉得像是在对着虚空呐喊，我们正在内部讨论“Discourse 默认设置”，并考虑在此处进行更改。
特别是要让人们在创建帐户时非常清楚他们会遇到什么。
