Illegitimately? If this isn’t a typo, I wanna know more information. Lol.

(Fyi, this comment was meant in a light-hearted way. We all make typos here and there and I’m not trying to make fun of you.)

🤮

You have my condolences, friend!

The date at the top of the article disagrees.

No notice or even a single mention of how it’s over 10 years old in the post body. Duh.

50% of content in the fediverse is old reposts.

There is a wide chasm between 6-month-old reposts and nearly 15-years-old reposts.

In any case, parent was wondering why people disliked how old it was despite its relevance and I answered the question. You don’t have to like the answer. I have no interest in continuing this conversation. Good day.

This will never be passed because most of the people benefitting from Flock are the ones who will vote on the bill.

Like most social rules, it is an unspoken one, so obviously not explicitly written down.

That being said, this particular piece of etiquette harkens all the way back to the classic web rule of “no necroing”, which is still a common unspoken rule in one form or another in many parts of the Web.

If you want to reference an old webpage, that’s fine, but in that case it’s best to not post it like it’s a new webpage, which is what this does.

No notice or even a single mention of how it’s over 10 years old.

You don’t like the unspoken rule, that’s fine. But don’t whine about it or act shocked when people complain.

False binary.

In any case, like I said, you can disagree with the etiquette if you wish, but that is the ettiquette. So one shouldn’t be surprised when people disapprove of one breaking it.

It’s not that it’s less relevant, only that it’s not generally considered good form in terms of web etiquette.

You can disagree if you wish (you are entitled to that right), but that is how it currently is usually.

I love cars.

I love car enthusiast culture.

Doesn’t mean I like car-centric civil engineering systems.

Oh 100%. I was just being a lighthearted goober about it. Lol.

Exactly. Not everyone sees everything the first time it’s posted.
