That said, if you can make discourse auto-forward to e-mail, and for
discourse to handle responses via e-mail replies, then I doubt I'd tell the
difference, right? In this instances I'd see no reason to spoil other
people's fun - they can have their app, and I'll correspond by e-mail?
Have I misunderstood something here? Does Discourse require an app? I
understood it was accessed via a browser, the discourse site talks about
the minimum browser requirements on computer and mobile devices. In which
case access is as simple as email using applications that you have there
already

It works with a browser, or you can configure it to work like a mailing list
with digests or individual emails. The downside to emails can be formatting,
although I work with Mutt primarily and use either Firefox as an HTML viewer or
Thunderbird if I need to view things with an HTML capable client.
Take a look at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/ or
https://help.nextcloud.com/ to
see what things look like.
