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The problem is that those old posts may contain outdated information or outright misinformation.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 to problems that didn't exist on forums, there's a reason why serious communities use them instead of Reddit style platforms.
You can't have both constant new content on your front page and long lasting ongoing discussions, first one comes with the disadvantage that discussions get lost as new content is created, second one has the disadvantage that new content is mostly found in ongoing discussions.
