Another thing with the 24h autoclean is it kills slow boards.

The fastest rapid fire message boards are also the most chaotic, with the lowest signal-to-noise. There's a certain comfyness in smaller places, outside the containment imageboards, that you won't have if you just clone slash pol slash and force the conversations to be even shorter and meaningless that they already are over there.

Thanks for your feedback and just to respond to you: As I said below, after several returns I've updated the site and removed the automatic deletion feature after 24h but I'm thinking of adding an option when creating a post.

What about the reverse: a post only shows up after 24h after submission? :-)

You might actually be on to something here...

Until a bunch of people try to find a thread about insert newsworthy event here, only to find there isn't one, create their own, and suddenly a day later there's hundreds of dupes.

Or even worse! Everyone knows how the platform works and assumes someone already made a thread about the newsworthy event, just to find out, 24 hours later, no one had made one!

For me that would be desired outcome. Recent events are not worth coverage. Recency is not value.
