A lot communities have "Posts older than 365 days will be removed." in their description, but what does this mean exactly? It never says.

  • The database of posts only goes as far as 1 year, everything older gets wiped? I hope and assume that's not it.
  • Posts with links to articles older than a year get removed?
  • If a thread is over a year old, no new comments will be added?

In some communities piefed.social only keeps posts for very short periods, like 28 days, because it’s the kind of content people look at once and has no lasting value beyond that.

IMO that's not for admins or mods to decide. That's for users and (eventually) historians et al. to decide, and it's only knowable in retrospect, if ever.

Hell, most of archaeology is digging through literal trash.
