Discord, or the Death of Lore

Reddit is still bad, not only because it's a platform, but also because it tends to lock threads after merely a couple of months (which prevents necroposting, which sometimes IS the right thing to do, while creating a new post is the wrong one) - so even if someone comes in later with a solution, they can't even answer the previous posters !

(and some of the new forums, seems like Discourse has it on by default?)

Hackernews seems to solve this by simply not notifying us of responses, so an ancient post that somehow gets responded to is just never noticed.

Actually, HN has the same issue than Reddit here : it locks threads.

But now I wonder why duckduckgo never seems to show hn results (unless restricted to it of course) ? I have searched hn before as it contains a lot of "Lore" as GP calls it, some of it quite helpful !

I guess that hn is a bit to reddit what is IRC to Discord : because of its focus and lack of features, it's ironically better in this context because most people won't even try to use it for something more serious than "post-it's on the fridge door".

HN may be like the forums for Advanced Custom Fields, which weren't even indexed. I sent a mail to them and submitted added themselves to Bing, which in turn meant being added to DDG afaik.
