  The dupe is from 7 months ago?? Not worth redisscussing?

  Whoever did this is abusing the dupe system.

    This is bog standard moderation. A repost of a topic within a year of the original submission is considered a duplicate [1].

    A new submission is only warranted and allowed if there is “significant new information” - e.g., a major upgrade or announcement.

    Three months ago we had another huge discussion about Bitchat in Gaza [2], which qualified due to having “significant new information”.
