What the title says. I’m basically curious if the posts will be locked like on Reddit or if it will be possible to add comments to old posts (a feature which I missed on Reddit).

    A few guesses:

    • it stopped the OP being forever notified of comments on everything they’ve ever posted
    • force conversation into the “fresh” post (reposting on Reddit was allowed even encouraged, I suppose it’s clear their purpose was to drive engagement at the expense of being spammy and repetitive)
    • reddit’s search was shit so I guess you would get a dozen results for a news headline some unrelated and old and it was to stop people commenting on old threads by accident? I dunno
