Why is there a kind of stigma about commenting on posts that are too old?

Why does it usually feel weird and awkward replying after a certain point?

Maybe that's just me. 🤷‍♀️

But really, posts kinda age out unless a lot of comments keep resurrecting it.

I'm gonna set up an alt account and they'll be a time traveler called HG Swells who only comments on posts from the past.

The problem is a few users on here are really dead. You never know when anyone is going to pass away. So you might be talking to the dead. Literally or figuratively.

Many do have that problem. They want to talk to the living, not the dead in any case. It's weird to expect a reply from a dead person. The same on a dead account.

And people are very touchy about viewing profiles.

I'm doing it on purpose lately. I made a post about it days ago as a heads up so hopefully people don't think I'm weird 😅 so at least they could see that post if they click on my profile wondering why I'm "creepin" lol

Cause people wonder how you got there if your trolling their old posts but sometimes if someone commented, they are up on top of my feed

@Bill1372 you don't have to go to the profile to see old posts. Just look at the groups (Topics button) and page down.

Dead feeds are causing more to look there.
It really depends on the comment for me. These old dudes commenting on a young girls welcome to SW post more than a year after she made it and saying… hey PM me… feels a bit creepy.

Sometimes a comment appears in my feed and I go see the post and comment only to then realise it is an old post and think I shouldn't have - but I have no idea why I feel like that?

It's not about stigma for me but I learned it's often not even actual anymore. The person is already somewhere else and can't even relate to their old posts.

Would be weird if the poster is not active anymore or left or something. Other than that i think it's fine
Because 98% of the time the post is about nudes or sex. I don't think there's stigma, I do find it amusing
I actually don't even pay attention to how old a post is

After time things fade away so are the posts

I have no idea. Sometimes I do it just because of the stigma.

I have older posts with over a thousand comments. It’s fine by me.
