Hm I always avoid replying to anything older than, say, 2 days because I assume it's pointless and/or it annoys people
I definitely wouldn't find it annoying.
Pointless part I can understand, but annoying? What's more, it should prove what you make effort to post can still get engagement over time, and not scattered to winds.
I work with a product enjoying a 27 year support window.
That's WAY more than 2 days.
Same, old habit from reddit, probably because it's so huge it was hard to get seen when something was an hour old, much less a day. I probably shouldn't do that here.
Depends on the content and context. Some older post, even years old, might totally okay for discussion. Just like those traditional forums with years of ongoing threads.
