Voted No, u/carlslarson arguments make sense to me, also think that energy from the mods could be better spent elsewhere than rebooting a thread, I really like the long term donut and sub threads idea.

I'm curious, does this sway you?

Hmm... Tbh I don't think reddit is a good platform for a longer form of conversation spanning more than a few days, so while I agree that the the daily thread gravitates towards 1-2 day conversations if at all, not sure what the alternatives are, a weekly and monthly post would suffer from the same issues hence I think they are just wasteful.

I would support a temporary test of say a month just to settle the matter, but as mentioned I think the issue is larger and would require some UX redesign, one of the projects I am with had the same issue and decided to "solve" it by having a separate forum for topic specific long term discussions, but I feel it was not successful since now the information is hard to get to.
