#2I created Hystoria as an experiment to see if blocking out current events can lead to more thoughtful discourse.
---
Hystoria is a simple, reddit-like site (built with a simplified version of Lemmy [0]) where only items older than 5 years can be posted.
I've been obsessed with media dynamics for years now, always wondering what variables can be adjusted within the current environment to result in better media production and consumption.
This is my approach for Hystoria. Time creates context: so even a vapid political article from years ago can present worthy insights since we know a lot more about the topic, context, and outcomes. Lindy effect: chances are that an older item worth discussing now is even more important now. And philosophically: we know exponentially more about the past than the present, and history rhymes, so we should talk more about the past.
More details on my approach are in the launch post [1].

#4A post from 2015 about how the Earth is flat is just as disingenuous as a post from 2020 about how the Earth is flat. I'm not sure how this is supposed to lead to automatically thoughtful discourse.

Ay I thought this was based off of lemmy. It's cool to see it be used to create interesting sites like this.

That's a good example of a post that probably wouldn't do well on such a site...you're right, time doesn't add much context to that topic.
