What is the generally accepted cut-off for when a toot is too old to reply to? The volume of toots is so fast and furious, I almost feel bad replying to something that's a few hours old. #etiquette
@cc
Ouh, is that considered bad? I might have accidentally upset some people then :(
@cc Tootiquette!
@cc as far as I am concerned, even a few days would be okay. Whenever it hits your timeline. :)
@cc I didn't feel all that violated when someone replied to an old toot of mine today.
@cc I'm hoping it becomes the norm, since more toots are containing real, fleshed out thoughts -- their contextual expiry date grows far beyond what we're used to coming from the 140 char. limits.
@thurloat On the tweety bird, I only pay attention to my timeline of accounts I've followed and generally ignore the rest of the cacophony, unless it's a hashtag I'm interested in. Twitter is basically an RSS feed to me. On here it's completely the opposite and I find myself focusing more on wider discussion, which is much more hectic (and full of humans), so that was the cause of my concern.
@cc if you've got something relevant or useful to add, I don't think there is a maximum time from an etiquette perspective.
