> everything except for a couple stickied threads is ephemeral

I find ephemera one of the most enjoyable aspects of most social media - most of what's talked about is inherently time-based

Sure, it's helpful to be able to find some forum post or Reddit thread on replacing a freezer control board for your 2011 upright Frigidaire (not that that happened to me in the last week, or anything ;)) - but most topics are inherently short-lived
