I think here's a misunderstanding too :). With quickly I mean closing without getting feedback, or without providing a good reason why the issue is closed (without being obviously resolved), not the dates (which I think are only relevant, when actually awaiting a response). I have seen this over the repo a few times, good writeups often explaining some behavior etc. and then bam closed, either as duplicate (although it's not (example)), or "not as planned" etc. I think this is not good behavior for an open source project (I'm around the block for a few years contributing and maintaining OSS, for reference...). Especially as this is a real community project and not some random opinionated application (well depending on how you define it, could be true to lemmy, but I don't think it is...)
I rather let an issue open than close it, "just to have fewer open issues". I can close it anytime, and if someone searches for that issue sees it closed while it isn't resolved, it just creates confusion...
