Comment on One thing I hope to see in the Fediverse is people engaging with old content
technomad@slrpnk.net 10 months agoMaybe something similar to do with ‘beating a dead horse’
the problem/issue was (potentially) already discussed, and renewing the issue is tiresome for the regulars who see it repetitively brought up? This is just my guess.
For technical discussion, sure. I'll be one of the first people to say look at the sticky, look at the pins, look at the megathread, read the FAQ, read the wiki.
For purely social discussion like casual chat, entertainment discussion, or random musings, I would say it doesn't make sense.

If it is about a problem they had and the thread didn’t have an answer, then they should be obliged to necro if they found a solution.
