Would it make sense to have a list of "Retired Questions"? - Questions asked so often and with no real change in answers that they're deleted on sight - if so, what questions would you pick? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

    So that in the future somebody asking a question can go read five year old responses? No thanks. Why not encourage new discussion even if the question's been asked before?

    go read five year old responses

    What's keeping the responses at 5 years? If there's a new update to the established answer, the pinned one is the place to update that.

    It's okay for things to be older than 3 months.
