View submission: Voting & commenting on archived posts
The reason we defaulted to archive off in the past was due to technical constraints that we faced on the site. Those constraints are no longer the case today, which is why we're able to remove these limitations on archived posts. We know this is big change for some mod teams which is why we implemented the two week grace period before this feature goes into effect.

Don't listen to them. Default archive off is better.
Also have a setting for voting off and commenting off because that's two different things.
Otherwise no one will do it

Wait, so is archiving defaulted to off? Or is the new archiving-off feature defaulted to off?

Any chance of getting a technical write up (i.e. reddit engineering blog post) on the architectural changes that permitted this to happen?
