I feel bad saying this, as I’ve not a proper alternative in mind* - Facebook precludes anonymity of participants, which some may value enough to forgo participation.

Pretty sure you can use Google Groups for mailing lists without G+, if that’s what you mean.
That’s a good point. I’ll add an edit to the OP.
