Comment on If people don't want reposts, they shouldn't also lock old threads. I should be able to google something and reply to a 10 year old discussion

As far as I know Lemmy and kbin do not automatically lock threads after a certain amount of time.

I think the whole online culture against necro posting is something that should not be encouraged.
Especially when it is the first thing that comes up in google and the only reply is to google it.

The problem is that those old posts may contain outdated information or outright misinformation. And it is unlikely any of the involved parties are around to continue the conversation.

Also, long living threads are very difficult to search through for the same reasons.

  hmm, i could see a sort of archive system where you save the post as is, but then comment on that in a new thread. could even do that multiple times as updates are needed.

    Freaking hell, you guys are trying so hard to find solutions when old school forums solve all the issues of Reddit style platforms…
