Maybe, but it still means one can't answer an old question, which is sometimes useful, including if one wants to reply to one's own query with SOLVED.
That is a policy that the site chooses. With the Fedora discuss the infrastructure people are open to adapting policy over time to what serves the community well.
I don't think there is a close time for the discuss.fedoraproject.org topics, or its very large.
In the case of Gnome, the policy appears to be to regard month-old topics as closed, which IMO is mistaken. However I concede that this isn't necessarily a point against Discourse. The fact remains that it's hard to use effectively without a browser, which is my main objection, not to mention the social-media orientation of much of the interface.
Again, this is OT for the thread so I suggest we leave it there. If Fedora ever decides to close down this list because "there's a Discourse forum which fulfils the same function" (which is essentially what Gnome has done) we'll no doubt come back to it.
