I think reposts should be automatic anyway. Lead if you cannot win. Users who crave for new posts and discussions don’t go necro because the discussion is closed, and also they couldn’t say anything there without repeating someone else. Most people discuss posts not to engrave knowledge into the internet, but simply to interact with someone and satisfy their need to be heard. Those who don’t want reposts could then set some today’s-rating threshold.

The slightest historical and often not very well-thought nuances of platforms that we use can influence the whole internet landscape.
