Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Not a fan of thread necromancy
Would you mind expanding on that? I picked up that it's not generally done, but whenever someone replies to something I've posted, I generally don't care, and I'll often reply to them if it's worthwhile.
Obviously, some stuff is time sensitive, but if someone wants to disagree with or add to something I've said a year or more ago, I don't see the issue. But I think your opinion is the majority?
I don't comment on things older then a month because most of the time people have forgotten what the thread was about.
Usually the reply triggers a notification so at least one person will read it. It's easy to read through the thread to catch up.
Thanks! I don't know why people are downvoting you. The OP literally asked what people felt, and I wanted to hear your take. I guess they just don't agree? I'm not sure downvoting someone for sharing their reasonable view is a great system.
