Hey @simplymike! Good to hear from you. :)
I've ran across these guys before. I liked the idea a lot. The last time I saw anything from them, though, was probably several weeks back now, where one of them was describing how they were being flagged by someone for reposting, even though it was clearly the steemitzombies and the dead post initiative. Do you happen to know if that was resolved? It didn't sound so favorable at the time. :)
At any rate, tackling similar topics in a new way is the staple of bloggers, and while it may take longer, there's certainly some quoting that can take place of those previous posts, so I believe there are various ways to make this work, including steemitzombies.
I must admit it has been weeks since I reposted anything with the tag. There was no problem back then. I hadn’t heard of the flagging, though.
Would be a shame..
Anyway, i agree that there are plenty of ways to repost older post without it actually being a literal repost. Different angles, quoting, repurposing content,... all are possibilities to get the same message through without being ‘punished’ for doing it
